No dont think so.?

Yes you can, as long as the bull has been correctly blood tested. Greystone Carbon was collected here after all the tests were clear. You must be bTB clear too, obviously.

It will cost you around £900-1000 for on farm - you'll need to test to see if the semen will freeze well, remember. Not every bull does. If it's just for yourselves, that's quite an investment - you'd probably want to be able to sell semen as well to cover costs which will include monthly storage fees. That said, a decent white bull could generate income but to be successful would need to go down to U.K. sires so the e port market is covered (including Ireland).

To be honest he'll not be as easy calving as his ebv, and he'll add a bit of shape and not lose any length.
He doesn't have one good leg though.neither did his dad Brutus, and the least said about Orvet the better. (big toungues and slow calves)

Apart from that. Great bull.(y):banghead:

Interestingly,,he's the sire of Cowden Blackberry, dam of Droft Domino, certainly one of the easy calving pedigree bulls on pedigrees, During his show days, he was a great ambassador for the breed - exceptionally mobile bull. Baroque not a bull I'd want to use, though, he was certainly relatively popular at one time on peds.
