I see Baxter is listed as a 5 for conception on the ERCR list. I think he is second to only Talent on that list.

Re: Emerald Acres Baxter


If he is anything like his sire then you should get a good bunch of......strong, white, bull calves. emoticon Blitz, for us, made Shottle look like a heifer breeder!

When I told the Alta rep that the other day, he told me that the next generation often swings back the other way. Really! Our home bred Blitz son did the same, and he was from a family that rarely has bulls.

I like the bull & his pedigree. Out of interest, what is Baxter costing? I was quoted £32/straw, with a couple thrown in for discount. I wouldn't have thought that he was that good.
