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.
