#05 Malda-Philip Embryo Heifer Calf (M117)

Winning this lot means you get a 100% Highland embryo heifer 'incubating' inside M117 (Angus cross recipient/surrogate cow) & due to calve on 2-11-23. M117 has been pregnancy tested via ultrasound and the embryo calf sexed at the same time. When the heifer calf is born, she can be registered with the Australian Highland Cattle Society (AHCS) under your fold name (noting that you need to be a member of the AHCS to bid in this auction), and will be of Fully Imported Bloodlines. Once weaning has taken place, you can do whatever you wish with M117.

The calf's biological dam, Malda, is a cow we have bred and shown several times and is very correct, has good feet and a very good udder. She has a docile temperament and is a very feminine, easy-doing, traditional Highland type.

Philip has been chosen because of his correctness and his classical Highland type. He is of older genetics (he has long since passed away) but has the class & style that saw him unbeaten in the show ring for the 3 years he was shown in Scotland. We have seen progeny of this bull in Australia and North America and he always seems to throw the same moderate sized, structurally correct, thick-set calves.

Whether you want a show heifer, or just a traditional foundation Highland cow, this heifer will certainly deliver.  If you have been interested in embryos but too concerned about the costs, work required, and the risks of failure and getting all bull calves, then consider this heifer – all the risk has been removed.
