Here we see Gamin's pedigree. On his sire's
side we have Delta, who is a half brother to Ferry, they
both being sons of As de Pic. Also note that his dam is a daughter
of Noduleux, who is also the sire of Villy,
grandfather of Digitale, Gamin's mother. Such close breeding
is very common in France and in this case has had the effect of fixing
in a very high degree of docility. In Ireland, docility is
always considered the no.1. starting trait for the Limousin breed.
Underneath we also see his current Irish BLUP indexes. |
| At present we have an excellent stock of semen for
Gamin which we are selling at €40 a straw. Conact Michael
