Re: Deslacs Shaquille
So what traits is this bull expected to be superior for? If we are not being told how can we be expected to use this bull to our best advantage and what are his weak points ???

Deslacs Shaquille
We just had a 2 year old Rampage calve in with Twin heifers. Fantastic looking calves - huge for being twins, and out of a 2 year old.
Definitely would not use him on 2 year olds!

Deslacs Shaquille
We can't use him here in Germany, so I think about buying some embryos from a red Mr. Burns heifer. What do you think? Is this a good mating?

Re: Deslacs Shaquille
This bull started out as something like +22conformation on genomic evaluation, he has already dropped to +16. By the time he gets an official proof based on daughters and with rolling base changes in Canada he will be heading for around +9 or so conformation.
Some real clever marketing going on with genomics at present.
