Re: …Emerald Acres Baxter
The Cavalcade & the Mecca pictures are new shots on the gallery.

initially I think the proof showed about a very slight minus on front teat position but to vindicate any worries just before the bulls release (around Winter Fair time) & pre November proofs, my farmer group viewed some 1st crop daughters & all without exception came back & used the bull. The proofs released showing a -0.40 or so front teat position, so yes it was there but also every farmer on that trip were not too worried about it & commented on thier surprise on the proof when released & asked what they thought.. be wise to protect for it though!
