Interested to see how they turn out when more reliable proofs come out. Bernard 26 looks like he could be quite good outcross to use, looks like he'll have good milk quality and fertility not sure on type thoughAnybody milking any cattle genie heifers. What are they like type and production wise?
some nice bulling heifers from him, riverlino 592, nice calves, on the smaller side, used on hfrs, no problems though hard calving, bas 8, good solid hfrs, all to bull soon. Calving to sem17, and VDR slash, s17, 8-10 days late, vdr 8-10 days early, caused a few problems with pens, but good lively calves,Interested to see how they turn out when more reliable proofs come out.

How did you find his calving would he be too hard on 450kg jersey crossbred cowsBest Holstein bull we have used is jabir from Semex they are very friesian like plenty of power not too tall and hold condition well.

It's my own bull, so had a HUKI genomic test to make sure he's good enough to use, so I don't think i can use those?Could you use the sci or ali figures instead?

Thanks, I found a sheet which was published in 2010 but it only had physical traits. I think there should be something more up to date and covering everything but I couldn't find it.There is a conversion sheet on the Holstein uk website il see if I can find it.

You can see all friesian bulls available on the holstein UK website just go to animal data, nearly all sold through the main ai companies will have a linear genomic or provenlooking at fr bulls at the moment, so many seem to lack the full proofs, ie height, chest width, udder etc, how can we make a choice ? We are looking to increase chest width, body, but not to increase stature, we can find hf bulls with those figures easier than fr.
