Purchased at Lanaud December 2014, and was one of the highest priced bulls of the sale.
Has exceptional French EBV’s for growth and skeletal development, but this is coupled with muscular development and thickness. However, while he has increased muscling, he has an excellent pelvis and is an easy calving sire, which is passed on to his progeny.
One of the first Filou progeny, yet another new bloodline for the UK, whose pedigree is again packed with RR and RRE animals, highlighting the fact that the bloodline has the ability to produce excellent milky, easy fleshing stock.
