Notes, Data etc.:
Platanus is a huge, superior bull which, at it's first public appearance at the Rieder Messe weighed in at 417 kg at just 14 months. Platanus' father is the dark haired colossal (hip height: 140 cm) Pablo vom Knausserwald, bred by Dr. Otto Schimpf and was the cover bull of the Buchmaier family in Saxony. His mother is Cucula vom Knausserwald, daughter of King John of Graymalkin and Cora of Hi-Arrow. Platanus ia s perfect bull, which posses not only the required characteristics of an SAP bull but has also an exceptional fundament. It's noble stride highlights this feature. His disposition and quiet temperment are natural. He is, in a word, a real gentleman. Besides, his head is very typical and has overwelming horns. His developement is quite sensational and one can maintain with pride that this is the biggerst (Frame Score over 6), heaviest bull in Austria at this time (Winter 2006/2007: weight 1.010 kg). As it looks, he will remain our cover bull for a while as he gives all his potential to his offspring.

Data to the postbreeding

 

The data of his first seven male offspring were used for the observation and peformance check. The scope of the measured hip heights ranged from 121 cm to 125 cm (measured within a year).

The observation data arising from these seven animals are so repesentative of the bredd performance of Platanus because the offspring of less refined stock (three standard cows) were evaluated with the others.

The average frame score value of his offspring (at twelve months) is 4,8 , that is to say, at the age of one year they had an averange hip height of 123,16 cm. From the total frame score table on this website it can be inferred that the mature offspring will have an average hip height of 139 cm (varying from 137 cm 142 cm).

Mating with highly appraised "bull mothers", as they are in my herd, will reach a frame score of over 5. It is to be hoped that these animals, when mature, should reach about the size of Platanus .
