Lisheen Shigeshigetani T1102 - TOP 5% EMA and MS

Lisheen Shigeshigetani T1102 is one of a number of Shigeshietani sired calves bred at Lisheen in a departure from usual breeding concepts where more emphasis was placed on carcass traits above growth and maternal. His ebv profile currently shows low BW, growth and CW while maintaining Milk. The intended higher EMA RBY MS and MF ebvs are also clearly present. It is likely that his growth ebvs will improve when additional breedplan weights are added as he is growing well under paddock conditions.

As his name suggests, T1102 is an ET calf sired by Shigeshigetani and is out of a Sumo F126 sired cow. F126 was widely used in the Lisheen fullblood herd to breed larger framed cows with good maternal and fertility traits while maintaining the ability to produce high quality carcasses. 1102’s dam, Lisheen P11, is a well muscled, fine boned, moderate framed cow that has Terutani 40/1, TF148, TF147, and Itohana 2 in her recent pedigree on her Dam side. She is not as feminine as some of the other F126 sired cows at Lisheen but displays more pronounced muscle tone.

T1102 will probably grow to be a medium framed bull and should grow into a high quality sire with desirable traits that would suit a number of breeding applications. He will be fertility tested and freeze branded in the coming months (before June 2024).
