It would be hard to imagine a more appropriate name for this bull than Musthave Red (Magnifier x Potter P x Snow)! He is a bull you simply must have - whether you are attracted by his successful maternal line , the extremely component rich history of his pedigree or his unusual aAa code (645). But he is most likely to be chosen thanks to the complete package he offers.
Magnifier, the sire of Musthave Red, is a calving ease bull. He combines all-round production inheritance (with very positive scores for components) with reliable, solid conformation. The notable features of his frame include good scores for body condition and chest width, which suggests that his daughters can easily cope with high production. This is also reflected in his extremely high score for fertility.
Musthave Red’s maternal pedigree (the Judith line) is a rising star among the cow families. Bulls descended from this line have been used regularly in recent years. One bull from this line who has already been promoted to a breeding bull is Jim P. Jim P is by Adapter out of Judith 35 (VG 87), the grand dam of Musthave Red. Whereas Jim excels more in milk production, his half sister, and Musthave’s dam, Justine (VG 88) excels in component percentages. His line also includes cows with high production and, above all, high component percentages. In addition, they all have wonderful conformation and number eight generations of cows with overall conformation ranging from 84 to 92 points.
