Thinking of having a few pedigree Limousin heifers i am keeping done with AI as they are from our stock bull who I don’t want to part with. Any suggestions that people have used and been happy with? Lodge hamlet would be the one but don’t really want to spend that much, quite like the look of rainbow Simon...
Which lim AI bull

when you write
are you refering to the royalty fee for reg pedigree limmys?
yeah the royalty fee and the cost of the straws, when it’s just a few like we have to do can’t justify that much per straw and then the royalty fee on top

I use genus ai service so any cogent bulls are of limits here anyway, but lodge Hamlet is £13 a straw and the royalty fee £35, I don't do pedigree so never pay the royalty. I don't know what cogent are on but I do get good calves with Hamlet

Tomschoice Pavarotti? £7 a straw, £35 royalty?
No royalty on Simon, but would he be a caesarian job?

Im purely commercial so I don’t pay any attention to the royalty fees.
Personally I’d recommend hamlet. Last time I enquired about him there was supply issues but he was in the region of £11.60. Consistent and some of my best have been by him.
dinmore goldcrest is another that I’d recommend. Price is in the mid teens per straw.
If you are a follower of figures then Emslies Galileo might suit. His father Colossus (by Objat) was top of the beef value league
I’ve not got any Tomschoise bulls but I really like the look of lexicon

Can vouch for lexicon - produces hells of calves and seriously easy calving I’m still using him currently. Jet looks like he’s got even more shape again

My Hamlet daughters are breeding very well (not enough milk though) got a Conan son out of one that in theory should be an easy calver got a real end in him. my heifers are in calf to Tomschoice nation Conan and Hamlet this year.

You can't get him anymore anyway (atleast not from Cogent), haven't heard anymore about it since. It's a shame as hes a phenomenal bull

Jet worked well for us, currently using onslow, paid £7/straw for him

i was really wondering about the 'hoo-haa' surrounding the breeding, was there a final outcome.

Not that I'm aware of, like you said it sort of died down and has seemingly been brushed under the carpet so to speak atleast it didnt affect those that have used the bull unlike the jagerbomb fiasco
