Yes I bred him, full bro/sis due any day now. Can't use Wonderboy much as he's related to most of the herd, the calf other week is my first from him, and couple heifers due in April.
I have a daughter of his due to calve in march, looking forward to it!

I wanted to use him last year. You must be very proud. Have you many bulls for sale?
Only 1 young bull left, should be ready for spring, struggling for bulls otherwise as had a glut of heifers last year but this has been evened out by a glut of bulls this autumn.

No, not sure which of the April/ May sales to take him too though. You heading up to Stirling?
I don't know yet. We're after a bull for the herd I contract farm, but they were trying to breed polled before I started. I just can't find a decent polled bull. Leeky soup, seems ok from photos, and waiting to see how comet performs. That was the reason we didn't use wonderboy last year.

Plan was to AI the best half of the herd with leeky soup and run the rest with a bull, we have been using a Steinadler son.
