Since when is that a problem? I'm really far from bothered by seeing two times or more Manfred in a pedigree. His only true minus was his SCS and udder depth at 2yo and it didn't seem to affect the longevity of his daughters. Truly funny how some are yelling when seeing Manfred twice while they wouldn't be so afraid of another bull/cow family linebred with the "great" Mark Grand... nondisclosed_email@example.com (AHVP)Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:18:53 +0000 Re: Re:https://bcowtalk.runboard.com/p441816,from=rss#post441816https://bcowtalk.runboard.com/p441816,from=rss#post441816quote:bazza20 wrote: quote:holsteins wrote: quote:bazza20 wrote: High scoring cows generally equals tall, angular and frail.

As milky a 2 yr old as we've had in some time, 113#/day on 2x. As far as the bull himself, he was initially pegged as an outstanding production bull, huge protein. Below avg health traits, SCC over 3, and below avg fore udder and depth. Would guess his genomics are going to be pretty accurate. He was needed in the polled arena for his production, and by the looks of Powerball, will leave his mark. I must say, that for all the faults that Lawn Boy, Colt-P, and Earnhardt have, polled has gained momentum and is here to stay. Just use your imagination as to what Seagull-Bay will do with a PP 2654 GTPI heifer mated to the best bulls of the breed.
