Aberdeen Angus Bulls

2 pedigree aberdeen angus bulls available. Sired by Lockerley Black Boromir K173 and Loughans Eric Mars W635 THE HERD GENERALLY: The herd is part of the AFBI herd health scheme is vaccinated monitored free of BVD. The herd is also routinely vaccinated for Leptospirosis and IBR. We are testing and monitoring Johnes with an emphasis on the reduction within the herd to below 15%. Sire selection and genetic variation is based upon the use of AI, using bulls with high EBV’s for calving ease, 400 day growth, eye muscle and milk production as a priority before the stock bulls are brought in after AI. This has resulted in shorter gestation lengths with an average birth weight of 38.5kg. Temperament and fertility have been selected for over the years to ensure quiet females that produce 1 calf per year, aiming to wean at half the mother bodyweight on grass before housing for the winter.
