Has anyone used him. I'm just starting out and will use him in my four cows.

I can let you know down the track as I have just put him into some of my cows and heifers. The name sounds impressive though doesn't it?
A consultant over here that is in touch with things and does a lot of investigative trips and advises on the matings for some bigger breeders is recommending him pretty heavily. A friend of mine has calves on the ground now but I haven't seen them, he used him on heifers and I didn't hear of any complaints.

We haven't used him but you might check with jscunn, they use quite a few Sygen bulls and attend the sale every year.

We have had two black pearls born here both are approx 13 months old. The steer almost made the cut as a bull. We only keep about 10 to 15 percent of the males intact. So he was pretty good and will be in the first load of steers we harvest. The heifer made the replacement group.
Very happy with how they both turned out out of heifers.
I would recommend him and will use him again at some point.

I will expand this a bit since I am home and no longer on a mobile phone. Seen Black Pearl three times, solid, big ribbed long, a little dirty fronted. Maybe as powerful a heifer bull as most people feel comfortable using. The bull is long but moves really well, big powerful bull. There is a you tube video on the bull, taken last year. Shows how he moves.

What do you consider dirty fronted?
