He is a Breedplan leader in growth traits, carcass weight, scrotal, milk, and Self Replacing Index among all proven sires. Semen from this bull has sold for thousands of dollars per straw.
The Hatsuhi maternal line is known for its elite growth & maternals while maintaining carcass traits. His semen is hard to find and tightly held, rarely selling.
Maternal Great Grandsire: Hirashigetayasu Westholme "001"
Westholme's 001 has been a staple sire in the Westholme herd and its development.

He is the foundation of many great bulls on the maternal side of the pedigree!
