Raughton Major League
| HB Number:53846 | UK AI code:J9500 |
- British-bred sire
- Excellent legs & feet
- Taller, angular cows
- Brook x Lester
Major League was bred in the UK but by Molly Brook Brass Major and out of a Canadian-imported cow that was a tremendous uddered daughter of Highland Duncan Lester. The daughters of this bull mature into deep bodied, well-balanced cows with strong toplines and angular bodies. They have excellent feet and legs. The udders are well-attached both fore and rear. Teat placement is ideal and teat length is slightly longer which will suit matings to short-teat cows.
