Troubodour

[gump]

Would like to use Troubodour next breeding season.  I was curious as to what type of cow works best with him.  Also what are the birthweights he is siring?  Any comments would be appreciated.  Thanks.

This calf is a Troubadour x Foreplay ET calf , i have had 8 born this fall , all about 65 lbs +/- . I would expect small to moderate birthweights , sound and eye appealing calves .

I am using him for the first time this fall. Kris Black says to use him on stout cows with lots of bone.  Others on this board have also reported that his calves come pretty easy.  That is a nice calf DBL.

Chambero, who posts here regularly, had a batch of Troubadour calves a while back.  Maybe he will provide some more insight.

I've got 8 heifers and 1 bull calf.  They looked like skinny rats when born, but are filling out and changing dramatically.  Honestly, I bet he'd work on Bigger framed heifers.  I'll get some more photos one of these days.  I consider him a pretty bull that stamps his look on calves, but you need muscle and body from the mamma.
