British friesian bulls

[RPB]

@RPB Do you know of any bulls that have black feet ?

None I have seen at Cogent or Genus.

Any suggestions for British Friesian bulls . Try to stay off main stream lines now as I think a lot of breeding is too closely linked plus we don’t ai many . Also any interesting A2A2 friesians floating about?

Goonhilly Tonto for an outcrossiewith good feet and legs and udder. Unusual for an outcross

Goonhilly Sampson over Jerseys? Any thoughts? Have you got and photos of his dam or grand dam.

 

[Friesianfan]

I would have thought he would be th3 best you could use. He scores really well for health traits and also high for milk. Medium for stature with a really good fertility index too. Got a couple of low stature stock bulls to sell soon too with low maintenance figures and high fertility scores. Goonhilly Joab and Goonhilly zebedee

This is Goonhilly hyl Katy at the end of October. Just had her eighth calf.

Want to serve a dozen skyhigh lord heifers in June. Leaning towards Jupiter, primarily for ease of calving. But at £20.00 a straw it does seem on the expensive side. Cogent do have bulls in the £12-13 bracket, but the ones I like to seem to be in the difficult bracket for ease of calving. Do forum members have any Jupiter heifers currently milking? Thoughts if there are.

Is that for conventional? Sounds expensive.

Joseph is easy calving.I don' like to run any one else' s bulls down but Jupiter is not great for temperament.

Joseph is good for calving yes think we may have pulled one but wasn't a big calf just the cow wasn't showing any interest in calving.

Gabriel’s calves are small and easy calving, had 4 heifers calve to him last month, all calved on their own not had to calve any by him yet

Yes. Might even go down the Swedish Red route if they won't negotiate on price.

Don't spoil a good cow! Why not try Viking Holsteins some great looking small fresian type holsteins

Too narrow and too low condition score personally.
