Fleckvieh as a beef sire

You're quite possibly right
Although I prefer the phrase "loosing the plot" rather than lost 🤣🤣

I was only thinking of trying maybe 10 straws of conventional (so maybe 3 heifers and 3 bulls) and seeing what they sell like before I go full steam ahead with it in a couple of years time and use 50 straws on anything that has already been served once with sexed friesian/holstein

Just really was wondering if anyone had done it, what they turned out like and wether they sold well
If I did it, I would sell the bulls as calves as normal and the heifers I would just run with my friesian heifers and serve with a bull

But yes really don't need to add extra work onto my plate
Maybe next year, see how I feel when I order in a day or two 🙈🤣

What bulls are you thinking of using this spring?
