[QUOTE="Loch Valley Fold, post: 912605, member: 8216"] Don't get me started on FlowerPower my Astounds are way superior than FlowerPower temperament wise they were perfect FP's had a tendency to stomp & kick while cupping up, for me that is a big no no some would come in kicking out at you as they walked up the platform couple were so hard to get back in calf we actually milked 1 for 2yrs before we finally got her bred in reality she should have went long before she did but she was my fathers favourite what can you do? they were a bit swaybacked. Astounds were slightly taller really good udders very collapsible & not fleshy both teat placement & teat length were good same goes with their feet & legs they work well on grass based pasture dairies. Flowerpower was very popular here in Aust, however we may have had bad luck with the ones we had but it was enough that I wouldn't use or recommend him if there were better bulls around. Semex used to include teat length, placement & udder ligaments in their catalogs don't know if they still do but it is a handy tool when it comes to picking out the right bull for your herd. Astound would be on of those bull I'd happily pay $$$ to have sitting in my tank [/QUOTE]
