Don't be so quick to do that he is Belgian and they very often have crap figures I don't know why though

Theres a reason it has crap figures, It"d do for a dairy cow,but nowt any better.Only 20 pure calves registered from 2005 til now,sez it all.

Hang on - bit harsh! Boomer DKNY and Graymar Flintoff were decent enough and depends on what the OP wants to use him on. But plenty of much better bulls out there imo

20 pedigree is a pretty decent amount. That said, Radar isn't a favorite of ours, so we wouldn't be keen but that's just us. As a potential show commercial sire, he might be OK and yes, we'd use him on one of the dairies...

He's not too hard calving if you'd use him on a dairy cow then?

Most breeds enter an imported bull's figures at breed average, until data and performance suggests otherwise.

Yeah that's definitely him.

lots of Belgian and Belgian derived bulls seem to have very bad figures, so if you are correct then perhaps they can't compete with the British Blues once they get here

I wouldn't know enough about the policies of the BB society on imports to know if they are entered at average, they might be entered at zero.

I don't know either, its does seem strange that seem to have bad EBVs

Give him a try,wouldn't worry about the figures,they could be just made up!

Bang him in a dairy cow. but don't cry if it doesn't take - he's a Radar son.

See my post above! Just hope OP didn"t pay much for it.

Straws were given to me. And I don't have a dairy cow!
