We are pd'ing Tuesday a fair whack of cows so should see how we are getting on with him. Preg rate is pretty good at the moment so fingers crossed we should have a busy autumn.

No still way to dear. Don't know why they are keeping him so high as they won't sell many units at the price.

What price was you quoted I asked about a month ago and he was around the £25 mark.

If he's £25 I might have some

Trying to decide between wintersell titan and vh brook for my sexed Holstein. Putting in British friesian type heifers, looking for a medium sized strong cow but has to look good too.

Look no further than Goonhilly James. http://www.holstein-uk.org/animaldata/animal/factsheet/40397942Great milk figure along with everything else! Failing that I’ve still got Goonhilly Josh semen to sell.

Oops wrong thread

I think once you put British friesian on something with over 70% British friesian your calf/heifer/cow are just a bit too small and the udder gets a little too close to the ground after 3 lactations. Hence my crossing. Only my opinion now! And I know piet adema and some of the Dutch bulls put the size back in.

 

[Friesianfan]

But look at Goonhilly James’s body traits. Particularly stature

I nearly went for Titan last time but decided on rubicon and bill. I may use Titan next time though.

We've used Titan and Jethro for the first time this season, as well as Bill (2nd yr), along with mopping up leftovers in the tank, mainly Dreamer.
