Have you tried one before,and do they just melt?

Yes I bought one once at Hexham at a dispersal the guy selling it had paid over 8k for it, brought it home used it but didn’t enthuse me to have another we shall say.

Surprisingly, he is our easy calving bull! Goes on all the heifers and they pop out little rabbits that grow like stink.
Have his figures somewhere, I’ll get them up.
He’s a great bull, only weakness is a bit of laminitis in front right foot

for the record, I got rid of a three year old bull this year as he was too hard calving on the cows.
Calving ease is now one of my top priorities

He’s called Ashledge Juventus. He’s out of a bull called Spittalton Fletcher.
I’ve bought a new bull this spring from the same herd who is out of a Goldies bull.
He has slightly different figures!
I’m hoping the two will complement each other although I’m going to keep the new one away from the heifers.

800kg?! Do I dare ask how much her calf weighs??!

Long way to go for a bull. Rawburn ones no good? Hell of a lot nearer. Just noticed Blelack farm for sale.

I noticed it was for sale, second time around too, what happened when it was up with Gailbraith a few years ago?

Dead pleased with this heifer calf ; I was planning on retaining her but a mate is very keen to buy her at weaning and it would enable me to keep the bull for two more calf crops if I let her go along with the her cohorts
