Holstein Bulls

I wouldn't be upset to use the Ashlar or Outside.

But Mr Sam will leave you the smartest heifers walking through the cull ring and Bolton daughters milk themselves into an early grave.
So got round to using some of this eventually.

Have 5 in calf to Ashlar conventional out of 5 straws.

Managed to get one Outside bull calf off of 4 straws used 🙈

Got 2 in calf to Mr Sam sexed out of 7 straws used, including this heifer calf out of an Inch Number One BF heifer, it certainly looks like a holstein!

Can’t describe how much strength and depth Alcove has carried over. I’d highly recommend him, roughly have 20 daughters from him. All consistent heifers.

A Vortexx Lexxi Foxx daughter. Her mother is currently on 76k litres total lifetime production ready to go dry again in 3 months carrying a sexed Westcoast Redcarpet. One of the best family’s currently on the farm.

Can't believe how your alcoves are normal looking animals, mine are hideous albino looking things, they couldn't pay me to use it again. They are strong looking though I will give you that

I have one that’s an albino 😂
I took a gamble and used him heavy but I’m pleased, I’m that pleased I’m using his son Almamater. Also using Redcarpet & Rhapsody which are from the same family as Alcove himself.
