Burlane Tennyson

Gordan X Mtoto X Mandel

Anyone for Tennyson?

• Our high impact, high milk bull adds another string to his bow.

• Tennyson holds his production for milk, fat and protein above base change, and is the real alternative to all those Oman sons, without using Oman blood for fitness traits.

• He sires great uddered cows that show that bit of flex and curve in the leg that we need to keep in the breed.  And what a unique combination of skills he has.

• He is the ONLY bull in the breed that is higher than 500kgs of milk and +5 for fertility index while improving cells.

• Farmers get paid for milk, and cull most heavily for fertility and mastitis.

• We now have a hugely reliable calving ease score, thanks to all the calves born in the UK and US, which sees Tennyson move from above average to very easy calving, opening up a big market for selling opportunities.

• He will cross really nicely on Shottle, Melody, Drake, Nansen and Reece maiden heifers.

  -0.40)

Bidlea Padbury

Sinatra x Jolt x Jabot

Woodmarsh Talisman

•  Talent x Mtoto from the Gould's Woodmarsh Melody family, this is the same family as Rudolph.

•  Talisman debuts as the number 1 £PLI UK bred sire. We have been delighted with the daughters we are seeing on farm, nice and loyal to the linear, average sized and framed heifers with very correct legs and feet, and really impressive udders.

• Daughters are milky and importantly are scoring well for the secondary traits too, he is positive for daughter fertility, calving ease, lifespan and cell counts too. 

• Semen will not be available until late Spring, so expect Talisman to be a hot launch in April.
