Gunshot is a well proven sire having bred many show champions in both the UK and Ireland and has a lot to offer. Being heterozygous polled and myostatin free, Gunshot is a great example of the Simmental breed and exudes breed character, while carrying exceptional conformation for a Simmental and is known to pass this onto his progeny. Sired by Tiset Darwin P, a bull with over 300 pedigree progeny registrations and going back on his maternal line to the great Raceview Merle-Beauty cow with bulls like Hillcrest Champion, Cankern Titan and Gretnahouse Supersonic in the pedigree too. Gunshot excels across performance figures, with daughter calving ease, all growth traits, Carcass Weight, Fat Dept and both Terminal and Self Replacing Indices in the top 5% of the Simmental breed, and Eye Muscle Area in the top 1%. Progeny are well grown and display great weight for age. With a +7 Maternal Milk figure, females are very desirable to retain in the herd as suckler replacements, combined with some exceptional terminal traits, while male progeny not destined for breeding make fantastic finishing animals too. Gunshot has a +4.2 Daughter calving ease score, with a 87% accuracy making him a good option for those wanting to continue breeding calving ease into their replacements.
