Double deck has been a corner stone for our breeding programme, breeding progeny with growth, capacity, very sound legs and feet and exceptional temperament. This is by no surprise as he is by one of the successful stories in the angus breed, Admiral A2 and out of the cow of her time in the Merribrook herd, Ester U108.
A big clean shouldered bull from the well credentialed Talbaba herd. A very sound foot and leg setup with plenty of EMA and doing ability. Combined with his outstanding dam has meant he has had a positive influence in our herd.
A great bull for thickness, length and a perfect temperament. We ask a lot from this bloke with an autumn and a spring joining and he always comes in in good shape and ready for more. Genuine calving ease with growth, above breed average scrotal and good EMA and IMF means Columbus is a high indexing sire.
