BIG APPLE RED
Your thoughts on this bull? Any calves on the ground, how are they?
Thanks

Re: BIG APPLE RED

Re: BIG APPLE RED
The volume of milk is low, but those components sure are tempting. The fact that his brother (absolute red) came out with a decent enough proof too makes me convinced of his proof.

Re: BIG APPLE RED
Using some absolute now to add some more style to my reds. Since big apple did a nice job he should do better. We like components here you don't pay any hauling on them. So I don't mind using the low milk high solids bull very so often.

Re: BIG APPLE RED
we have 1 big apple milking. at 35 days she has 86 lbs of milk, scc 31, fat 4.5%, protein 3.5%. Great udder and overall a good young cow. We are now using Absolute semen for the first time. If Absolute can make them all like the ones at Luck-E farm, then he could even be better than Advent.

Re: BIG APPLE RED
I just heard today Absolute semen arrived in Holland so I'll get my ones soon. Right bull right on time, perfect cross for my Hvezda, Camden and other RC cows. Just watch rump angle little, rest is perfect (at least the proof is, and the daughters at the Luck-E website are).
