SOLD
Sire: First Fleet Jupiter / Dam: First Fleet Tillie (DNA verified, Myotonia carrier negative by verified descent)
DOB: 17 September, 2024
Tyson is now one year old and is maturing into quite a beautiful buck with very pronounced angulation, nice top line, very good pasterns and he has his dam’s beautiful shoulder and neck assembly. We sold his dam Tilly in a painful exercise to downsize our herd and we now very much regret having let go of her, especially when we see videos of her moving and showing her very smooth dairy blending, a stand out among our herd. Tyson is very tightly bred on Castle Rock Harvest Moon (see pedigree below) and although we can’t see any negative aspects in him, we never the less keep his price quite low considering he is a blue eyed buck with that much Castle Rock genetics in his background (use of artificial insemination). In spite of wearing his birth control apron he has managed to get his half sister pregnant through a fence ! (We aborted the resulting three little foetuses. ) Tyson has a gentle and friendly temperament and we would like to find him a new home and herd where he is housed well, not kept alone, but has a companion whether or another buck to keep his company. We have seen some of our sold bucks being housed under almost cruel conditions and we don’t want this sweet boy to suffer.
Tyson’s colouring is gold with roaning and white overlay. He has no exposed pink skin: his ears, nose and tail show tan skin colour.
Our herd is free of CD and Johne’s (annually tested , MAP 3 )
Pedigree: F.F. Tyson
