100% of calves are polled Fantastic components Outcross Longer teats Excellent udders Steep feet Fertile daughters Low cell counts

Family Information The PP behind POLDARK’s name signifies he is homozygous for the Polled gene. This means that all of his calves will be born polled so no need to dehorn. POLDARK is a special bull, he is the highest PP bull on PLI in the world today. High components, notably his protein kgs and % improvement, combined with cost of production friendly health traits, make him a unique proposition. The cow family that backs him needs little introduction either, including the world famous Lila Z. Poldark also has in his armoury the benefit of A2A2 Milk, Kappa casein BB protein, Red Factor.

Dam: Ms Chassity Colt Caser-ET VG-85 Shane & Kylie Mieglich with a CHOICE-PP calf

TESTIMONIAL In the last year, Shane Mieglich, Paringa View Park Pty Ltd, at Charleston in the Adelaide Hills, has focused on using all polled bulls in his dairy breeding program. “Using all polled bulls has been a relatively easy decision for me, due to a greater industry emphasis on animal welfare and compliance with dehorning practices under our milk factory’s calf management standards,” Shane said. “Having polled calves saves us another job and also represents a cost saving for the farm,”. “I have also had an Angus stud which were all polled so I can see that, in the future, like beef, most dairy cattle will be bred polled. There are enough good quality polled bulls available through companies like ABS to build a very good breeding program for replacement heifers,” Shane said.
