Re: Mating suggestions please!
Are you looking for type or are you looking for numbers? How worried are you about calving ease?

I was going to recomend an outside son.. Take your pick there are a few out there now or maybe one of the new blitz sons out there.

I am with Jonny. My experience with Zenith is he can sire a shallow heel and most of the daughters I have seen you really love, until you get to the feet and legs. They can be a bit frail sometimes also. If she were mine I would breed her to Baxter or if you weren't worried about marketing breed her to Potter.

Not dissing Potter, just meant he isn't the new kid on the block anymore. We are milking 25 daughters now and I am still using him. I believe him to be Manfred's best son for type. I think of him as one of the more complete bulls of the breed right now with a nice balance of milk, health traits, and type.

Re: Mating suggestions please!
Something like Lheros could work well, not easy calving though. Ross is a bull I like, he would work on her.

Re: Mating suggestions please!
if your suggesting lheros why not one of his sons; like karona bonair or stantons sidney!
i like atlas if you can get him, there looks like a good new outside son from genus; palmcrest breakout
