Blues on jersey crosses

[som farmer]

I like simmys as breed ones I’ve seen been nice and steady good carcass bit of milk to them too

when used to buy calves, simmies had to be very good, or a much lower price, to many sm x something bulls on farms, hope that habit has stopped.

And idea if this bull would be easy calving? Polled is a big draw

Sorry missed that, Er probably easy enough on dairy coos. Polled will have its advantages obviously. Disadvantages will be that the calves are likely to be as plain as fek, as that seems to be a polled trait & I think that will be so, for all l polled breeds AFAIK. Dont think all calves will be polled would have to PP after its name not just P.

Thanks, yeah it's major drawback atm the lack of muscling from Polled Bulls

Sorry missed this too. would agree with @Purli R re muscling etc although Ideale Blackbeard, who is homozygous for polled, does throw more muscle. We’ve a baby white/blue bull calf out of NewPole Harriet (Kojack, Kudos, etc) by him, who is looking pretty promising (already optioned). It was nice not having to dehorn him! He’ll only be heterozygous for polled though. We one or two more on board .

Thanks for that, I will wait for a Pp Newpole I think, better the devil you know!

Well, NewPole Remarkable Pp left the farm today heading for Cogent, along with NewPole Reggie, both out of NewPole Harriet. Remarkable was naturally calved out of his South Devon recip dam. Hopefully they both pass their calving surveys over the coming months.

Have you heard how these are getting on? There's nothing on Cogent website?

Newpole priority is on the website.
