[QUOTE="VLS_GUY, post: 887508, member: 13182"] The featured bulls in the videos show the dominance of double muscled bulls in the beef AI marketplace in the British Isles. The Angus bull featured is of North American breeding being out of A Young Dale bull. The Charolais bull is considered a good all around bull by Irish Standards but he would be considered too hard calving for anyone in North America. The only two Charolais Bulls worthwhile in the catalog are Dovea Pinocchio and the Bob Jovi bull as they are the easiest calving and have best maternal background. The Belgian Blue bulls are mostly British bred and are by no means the most extreme bulls available. As Belgian Blue bulls go they are a functional lot by comparison. For more extreme bulls look at the Parthenaise bulls. One of them has been siring plenty of grand champion steers in Ireland. I would never use any of these bulls in a North American beef operation due to calving problems and poor resistance to extremes in climate. Note the tight, thin hides on all the double muscled bulls and slick hair coats. These cattle can't handle the cold or the heat (personal experience). They do have the #1 performance shorthorn bull for Australia for you shorthorn types.
