🖤🤍Last of our lots for the Spring Selection is Lot 198 a super stylish December born Rubels Red calf out of probably the best cow we’ve ever bred. Flashy G Babydoll EX95-3E has everything… She can certainly milk having given almost 80 tonnes in 5 lactations and she’s done us proud at National and County level and she can breed as her first three milking daughters have all gone VG as heifers in their various herds… We think she’s simply the best and this calf doesn’t disappoint🖤🤍
