In the back pedigree but I would say tittenser hylke is the best bull I’ve used

When you look at his figures, the predictions are that he will leave cows wide of the front teats and slightly wide of the rear teats, does his dam and other family members have astrong ligament and floors to their udders ? @Friesianfan
Its great to see a bull that can add some stature, at last !

Will he be available sexed?

Front teats are -0.61 which is an improvement on Chad’s -1.08. The rear teats are slightly wide due to his dam. She had great ligaments just slightly wide rear teats which seem to have carried through. Perhaps not a bad thing for robots? @happycows and @pappuller ? His grand dam still milking in my sister’s herd @ 15.

Difficult to find the perfect bull but I think he’s pretty good

No afraid not
