He’s been with 30 cows from May to some time in early July then swapped to a batch of 20 odd a different batch. He had them until August then went in to a batch of 60 ish then he went inside in late August. Sounds a few but we are calving all year round and one of our stock bulls has been in with the others when he hasn’t if you catch my drift. So it’s not as many as it sounds.Nice young bull.How many cows did you put him to this time ?
No wayDoesnt the closeness of the inbreeding put you off ?
Yes , tonka is the sire of vantastic. Rightly or wrongly i would never buy a bull with a duplicate name on the same page-ish and i dont breed pedigrees .In what way? Because he has Tonka in both sides?
ive seen closer
I don’t think it’s close as far as bull breeding goes. As said there’s a lot sold closer which are doing wellYes , tonka is the sire of vantastic. Rightly or wrongly i would never buy a bull with a duplicate name on the page and i dont breed pedigrees .
Would you buy any limmy bull though?Yes , tonka is the sire of vantastic. Rightly or wrongly i would never buy a bull with a duplicate name on the same page-ish and i dont breed pedigrees .
Has he sunk. My young bull was with 20 but has sunk quite a bit.He’s been with 30 cows from May to some time in early July then swapped to a batch of 20 odd a different batch.

Only Jaegerbomb!Would you buy any limmy bull though?
He has a bit but he’s held himself together well considering. He’s not carrying the sale weight but still a very solid fit bull. We have learned not to give them too much stick at first. He was getting a fair bit of hard feed when he went in at first not getting as much now silage mainly.Has he sunk. My young bull was with 20 but has sunk quite a bit.
will have to feed him up this winter
The fella I bought him off feeds a silage based ration so they are less likely to melt. They are all boiled up for the sale they have to be it’s trying to pick a bull that hasn’t just had mainly hard feed.Has he sunk. My young bull was with 20 but has sunk quite a bit.

Yes i always run one, got an unregistered grandson of vantastic here now. Looking at sales pics and the few ped sales i go too i like the look of bulls with vantastic on the dam side though if i could afford them and have the choice.Would you buy any limmy bull though?
I have two other bulls with vantastic in their breeding too. They get well enough one gets decent on any cow the other gets very well on good cows not so well on poorer typesYes i always run one, got an unregistered grandson of vantastic here now.
