Starlet G8 was Calf Champion at the National 2010 after winning the Autumn born heifer class. She then collected the Heifer Calf Championship at the Calf Show to complete an unbeaten show season. Her dam is leading female Starlet V13 and she is sired by Dynamite. We rate this calf very highly and she had many admirers at the show. She teamed up with Grand-Slam to win the pairs and also featured with him in the winning group at the National. Grand-Slam is a very growthy calf with exceptional length and tremendous confirmation, he was the winner of the Autumn born bull calf class at the National and was Bull Calf Champion at the Calf Show remaining unbeaten throughout the show season. He is a calf with a lot of potential who we think has all the attributes to make a top stock bull. |
