Re:


Braxton is certainly a strength bull, and I can attest that from personal experience.

Well my braxton heifer is doing well, lovely veiny udder, teats perfectly positioned, nice central ligament, great rump, lovely frame and not overly tall, first milk recording she tested 4.2 bf % and doing 34 litres at present, really can't fault her, but there's always time emoticon

Re:


Plenty of milk then

I wouldn't care much for her protein test

being paid on a milk solids basis doesn't leave any room in the herd for low percentages

Re:


Cowgirl a test at 3.00% protein means 1.5cpl less and heading into a tough milk price year I'll stand by my opinion.

Every litre costs the same to produce so I want to pack as much fat & protein into each litre as I can

I don't think I can do that with Braxton, people on a different milk contract may have another opinion

Re:


One cow giving 3 in a herd of 50 cows doing over 3 won't really make a lot of difference, the improvement in milk yield, body capacity and feet & legs was my goal for breeding her mother to braxton. So far so good.
