Well done. His mother is my best milker at the moment in her eighth lactation.

Glad to know, first Gabriel is due in the next week or so here so will get a pic soon as. Just looked up and all 11 cows I got to calve in January are in calf to Gabriel plus 3 out of 8 heifers are aswell that month

I thought the same. Looks ok but I would think there are better Bulls out there.

He is a popular proven bull and has been number one for some time and in the top 10 for a very long time

Beauty calves.

He's -.04 in protein and -96kgs of milk in his irish proof. It does make one wonder how a bull can be so different in two country proofs.

Wasn't mr frosty sired by the farms holstein stock bull where he was bred?

 

[coomoo]

Was too late for tournament, not a die hard so mr frosty isn't a problem actually quite far from it

We have got some lovely premier calves we had £200 for a bull calf a couple months ago. You have to watch them calving though we found some have come out on the large side.

Wow exciting

 

[coomoo]

So this big lass is a Holstein. As I've mentioned the last year I've been crossing most back to friesian. figures for her last lactation 17426 litres in 465 days 3 services and has had a lovely Quentin heifer calf.

Busy milking tonight heifer calved unassisted a limmy then even better.....

this 4th calving 8500 litre cow had a beast of a chad heifer. So far he's really crossing well through them although proof will be in the pudding in 24 months time
