Woodleigh Falcon3100A051 Born: 19/06/2020
Falcon was initially used over yearling heifers as his pedigree contains so many easy calving sires. Both his sire and dam were out of 2 yr old heifers. However, the growth rates of his progeny have led to him now being used more widely. One of his sons, out of a 2yr old heifer, is arguably the best bull born at Woodleigh in 2022. He is a structurally very sound bull.
