Progeny after Gulli av Stustad P born in our herd. (scroll to pics below).
“Gulli av Stustad P”, is a Norwegian “Elite bull”, which is bred by Bengt Vestgøte the President of the Norwegian Simmental Association Bengt Vestgøte. Gulli is, across all breeds, considered to be Norway’s best bull – maybe even ever!
So what does it mean that a bull in Norway gets the name “Elite bull”? If the bull has breeding values above 100 and with high certainty – for each of the three traits birth traits, production traits and maternal traits, it can be promoted by the breeding committee in the Norwegian Simmental Association and TYR/ Norwegian Beef Breeding Association to “Elite bull”. Gulli’s agegrated breeding index is thus extremely high – measured at 134! And since it is an elite bull, it has no bad indices at all on any trait and the indixes are extremely certain!
Gulli produces small, very vigous calves, and both the cows and heifers after him have shown easy calving processes. Its offspring give a very good slaughter settlement, as they both slaughter with high quality and high weight, but only with a little fat. There is also assurance that its female offspring will wean calves with high weight, as his daughters provide a lot of milk for the calf. In the indixes you can also see that he transmits a really good back muscle. The calves we have had fully live up to the high expectations we have had on the basis of the Norwegian indixes! They are extremely vivacious, curious, tame and muscular. We used him in our flush-program in Australia.
Gulli has an amazingly exciting pedigree with genetics, which we are not used to see.
