His type proof is about a half point lower today than it appeared on his initial sampling. One of Rudolph s full brothers, Startmore Royalist-ET, was sampled here in the U.S. and in Canada as well. All along he has been available with Rudolph through Semex USA, although somewhat in his shadow, since he just hasn t had summaries that were as high as Rudolph s. They re different breeding bulls, explains Francis Costello. Rudolph is the better one for udders, stature, dairyness and protein pounds.
Royalist is better for getting width throughout, depth of heart, and a nicer foot.
Rudolph has been a success for the stage of career he is in, sums up Brian Garrison. He has pleased a broad spectrum of breeding goals. Commercial dairy producers are pretty happy with the daughters. That in itself is a pretty big statement for a bull that was used as heavily as he was. For a bull to go to the next level where he can be called a great bull will depend upon his sons.
