⚡️Battle of the size improvers ⚡️

Spritz v Picpoul v Poumba v Paysan v Nebbiolo

No doubt about it after years of following high indexes and high muscle bloodlines the majority of Breeders have females that need a lift and a bit more power added .

And new blood 🩸!!

But be clear - these sires bring more than just size and volume they are bringing strong maternal traits .

But need to be used on the right cow that will complement each others strengths ..

Which of these 5 offers the best 👇

Spritz - 🏅Calving ease

Spritz 🏅- Size improver

Picpoul 🏅- Milk

Poumba 🏅- Correctness

Paysan MN 🏅- Pelvic width

Paysan MN 🏅- Growth rate

Paysan MN 🏅- Muscle

Nebbiolo 🏅 - Docility

Paysan / Spritz / Poumba 🏅- Outcross

📍Spritz (KBS)

Spritz has a unique balance between calving ease and skeletal ( what other bull gives size with easy calving ?)
Spitz progeny are good looking , correct on legs , very long and tall with a square pelvic area .
Females of a show type .
Best suited to beefy lines

📍Picpoul and Poumba ( Crealim)

We will do these 2 together they are similar , both graduates of the Moussours maternal programme .

Very strong Milk sires .. Picpoul 116
..Poumba 119 on French Iboval index ( data from 100s of farms )

Picpoul indexed 120 on test in Moussours , Poumba 99 .. so a big difference. 40 daughters of each bull in the same environment.

But in the French iboval system ( data from 100s of farms ) Poumba performs much better than he did in moussours - Poumba daughters progeny are growing very fast , faster than can be put down to genetic growth potential alone . This is why Poumba has a very high Milk index .

So - Picpoul

High growth - Tall - Long progeny - Nice Pelvis too .

Proven Pedigree - Epson / Highlander - Cameos

🥛💥Having seen Picpoul daughters in production hard to see him beaten for Milk

And Poumba

Outcross Pedigree - Sire Engy (119 milk) - Exceptional Functionality- Very Long - Fertile - Milk

Both bulls suit those Lexicon types.

📍Paysan MN( Interlim)

Paysan has the highest growth (117) and Muscle ( 125) of the bunch .

Impressive progeny .

A total outcross Bloodline focused more on power/width and carcass than maternal traits .

2nd high Bas index ( backend / Pelvis ) 126

Milk 103 .

Will suit most types of cows depending on your objectives

📍Nebbiolo

No.1 Docility index - High milk 113 - very square - adds size - adds strenght / Bone

Proven bull on the icbf system

Again suits thicker sweet type females .
