John & Bridget are offering for sale two fabulous young heifers sired by Infusion. The decision to purchase Infusion at the 2019 February Stirling bull sales was influenced by a maternal bloodline achieving Royal Highland awards coupled with a sale-topping Omorga Samson as the grandsire. Also, Infusion's polled line outcross followed our previous stock bulls  Skerrington Armada  and Heathbrow Freddie Star 14 (P). 

Before going any further about Infusion daughters let me have a word in your ear about Louie!

BOSAHAN LAMORNA HARRIET BOW

Is the second daughter of Infusion this her Dam is Bosahan Harriet Bow who has produced five calves to date; (including twins males the first time which we decided to castrate and subsequently topped the suckler calf sales the following Autumn at Truro Livestock Market). She  has averaged a 400-day calving index across four calvings with an impressive heifer calf at foot currently by Knockreagh Immanuel. 

Combining bloodlines from two of our foundation cows, Atlow Petruska and Grangewood Paris, we used  a homebred bull Bosahan Vulcan by Diranean Jacob and we believe regardless of sire this maternal line will produce great calves suiting both commercial and pedigree breeders. Atlow Petruska's daughter x Kinbride Farm Newry produced Bosahan Dynamo. Dynamo got 9,600gns at the last Bristol sale, which is a sale record. He has since been sold to UK sires and Bull Bank had semen from him, but there is none of it left now.

Harriet Bow is a stunning young heifer, cow foundation material backed up with proven pedigree lines, that continues to prove itself generation and generation and there is no reason to see why Harriet Bow's progeny doesn't produce your next champion.
