| Because of the positive feedback we have had from farmers milking O Brolin daughters we have decided to bring in some more semen of this bull. The RRP is $25+GST and contact us if you are interested to purchase semen. Regards, Anna Viking Genetics Australia |

| We are milking 9 O Brolin daughters and they are very aggresive feeders. Most of them come in the first 2 runs in a 400 cow herd! They are milking well. However, 5 of the 9 daughters have very weak centre ligaments, so it will be interesting to see how many lactations they last for. From our experience and his conformation proof I would only recommend using him again on cows with very strong centre ligaments. He is also a 1/2 brother to Orraryd, so that limits the red cows you can use him on as well. Regards, Sam |

| O Brolin has more than 3 000 daughters classified in Scandinavia and his proof shows that he has a very weak ligament. He is the #1 sire for longevity (breeding value 118) with more than 10 000 daughters in his proof so it doesnt seem to be a big problem with the ligament but I agree with Sam to use him on cows with strong ligaments. |
