ROTOKAWA DEVON 688

DESCRIPTION

Bull 688 was produced from the female genetics of the Rotokawa herd and has many offspring (both male and female) in that herd. Bull 688 is one of the best balanced bulls that we have had the opportunity to evaluate linearly. He has a very masculine set of shoulders with a large loin and rump, with all areas full and blended.

The Rotokawa herd averages 3.8 to 4 pounds gain a day on grass from weaning to finish. The calves from 688 will easily finish in 15 to 18 months. His daughters work well with and are distant relatives of the 667 Rotokawa Devon bull. Offspring from 688 rarely need calving assistance. Bull 688 is the one to create your herd with, purebred or commercial.
