Congratulations, they are good looking cattle.
Yes, will use only AI for a while for them and a plan is to breed pedigree animals. They already have bulls selected for each for their first calf.How exciting!!
I look forward to seeing calves! Will they be bred a.i. to parthenaise?
Yeah, abit. It's been a dream of mine to have this breed for a decade. Also it is becoming a necessity to have some purebreds to grow a bull for our own commercial cows. It got quite hard to find a bull we want with an adequate amount of info about him.Nice cattle. So are you getting into purebred cattle now? Interesting seeing the different breeds in other countries.
The best place in life is to feel like you're living the dream. Good luck in your new venture.Yeah, abit. It's been a dream of mine to have this breed for a decade.

It says something about your area and concerns over calving ease compared to here in the US. You are calving 100 pound plus calves without assistance... and here many of our cows are incapable of birthing anything over 70 pounds without being pulled it seems. Personally, I believe you have much better cows.Getting opinion from the girls on the bull sellection

Two first AI'ed are already comfirmed incalf. Others still have abit of time left until I can tell if they are pregnant or not. Gonna add two new bulls to the tank for the empty ones. These are easy calving, heifer safe bulls, so will be abit more confident in using them on heifers.
