@coomoo jabir in calf heifer. Her mother is British friesian so I don't think she will make a big cow just ideal size.

Calved yet? About emptied tank and really can’t see a bull to suit my cows coming close. Any Dorcy? Now attentions onto friesian, high type thoughts.

No obviously goonhillys are up there but used chad so heavily I’m looking for the same star quality.

Chronicle?

 

[coomoo]

Chronicle?

Yeah he’s interesting, all I can find is he was sold to a private customer? Somebody must be marketing him.

 

[dinderleat]

Is he not for sale? he was on the Ahdb friesian genetic bull list?

Says sold privately is all I can find?

Inch number one looks a high milk bull good kg of fat and protein too.

There is a reason they haven’t been genomically tested

Their dams are some fair animals?

Inch Robert, inch number one both started off with pli way above any other bulls on parent averages but tanked when they were genomically tested

Yes I agree, I shouldn’t say anymore

Do you mean Catlane Chronicle, its a daughter proof his final farm had TB so he couldn't go to stud.

This is my first visit to the dark side, just checking on ff wise words

That’s the trouble with genomically testing a smaller breed size you don’t have the animals to compare,but you have to start somewhere.

Did you breed him ? Why can’t they just take semen from where he is ?

Yes here was one of ours, I'm not sure if you can get a licence to do that, I'm guessing not

My take on it was the original figures showed the way they were fed and not the way they were bred. Ahdb are pretty confident in the genomic figures for friesians now
