Danillo is the only bull in the UK and International top 20 daughter proven PLI rankings to be over +3 on UK type. His proof comes from more than 350 milking daughters in 169 herds. He is also a massive +3.5 for UK legs and feet and +2.4 for UK udders. His chart topping £219 PLI is made up of great production, including a positive figure for both fat and protein%, along with a lifespan of +0.3, a fertility index of +3.5 and a SCC of -19%.
Commenting on the sire, Paul Westaway owner of Sterling Sires said: “PLI is a great measure of the profitability a bull can have on a breeders herd. To get a bull with such a massive PLI of £219 coupled with over 3 points on type and +3 for fertility index leads us to believe he is probably the best daughter proven bull available in the world today, we are delighted to have added him to our line-up.”
