try looking on cattle genie, got some very solid bulls on there, very reasonably priced as well, some really elderly proven bulls, but hey ho, still got some pretty good pli's. don't see to many proven bulls advertised here, do they stand the test of time ?

We use Fever lovely cows milked like trains but just went to big for a system. The last one is going this week. After that we used Lauralhill Classic from genus. Some of the best cows I’ve dealt with are by him. Yes I am only 25. Now there MySpace from Semex and Benton from genus. We did use a Semex bull called Montreal. They weren’t the best hiefers. I’m just starting to calve Nafta and Titan hiefers of cogent now. But not been milking long enough to nudge them.

I went on a trip to the KI Samen bull stud with Cattle Genie in the summer of 2016. Was an impressive line up of bulls and daughters. As you say Cattle Genie is very competively priced but no sexed as far as I am aware.

I see Solaris has come back proven with a fair change in milk quality

That’s the trouble with some of the genomic bulls. I still think it’s worth using some proven least you should know what your going to get, not many in the glossy catalogues now though.

100% agree with that

 

[More to life]

The problem stems from a miss use of genomic bulls. They must be used and regarded as a team,frankly the more the better. I would use 10-12 different bulls a year the results for individual bulls would vary greatly but the average would hopefully stay the same,, there is no point fretting over individual bulls.
