Bull choice for heifers

I'm sure he was, but he isn't going to say that it was hard calving now is he??!!
Or is that just me being cynical?
At the bull sales, everything is a "son of easy calving XXXXX" even when you know full well XXXXX was a bugger to calve after.
Personally I'd bull them with a BB, short gestations.

He’s on the more honest end of the spectrum of pedigree breeders. If he says somethings easy calving then he can be believed.

We have found with Tweeddale Lennox calves that they virtually all have a bit of white in them. Even out of cows that are virtually pure (red) limousin. Does the breeder not also have a herd of BB?!

He dispersed the BB’s a few years ago. Lennox himself is out of a heifer bought from Emslies, an Objat granddaughter, so he’s distantly related to Conan, Hamlet and many other AI bulls.

Anybody had calves off Tomschoice Nation or Onslow?

AI van has been out of Sim and Angus at various times this year so had to dip into Limousin. 3 cows went to Onslow and one Sim X heifer went to Nation.

I've used Nation this year, hoping he is as good as his sire!

We had our first onslow calf today. Calved OK and looks a good calf. Will need to see how he grows and fills out.

Hamlet sired heifer calf out of a pure lim heifer Needed a wee pull only as she was taking too long for my liking. Probably weighing 36kg
