Roumare: how do you explain is high type proof?


The calfs of Roumare are getting on the ground and none will explain is +4.1 on type proof (on french base).
 What are your ideas on this bull and in generally on the french bulls?

What exactly is wrong with them?

He's somewhere like 2.7 on the irish base which seems about right.

They just looks like average Jocko besne, and udders are average too, by far not a 4.1 on type....

Not sure how you can judge a bull's type proof on "calfs that are getting on the ground". I would wait until you at least see daughters in milking form before forming an opinion good or bad.

I think that is what he meant to say JEB , the oldest Roumares should be calving around now. Still it's early days to judge him yet, mine are yearlings now and i think they will be ok, not show winners though.
