Scottish bulls leave their mark upon German Shorthorns

Glenisla Yeelanna in Summer 2010

Glenisla Yorker 42 months old

In February 2007, two Glenisla bulls were purchased by two German Shorthorn breeders at the Perth Bull Sales. Since then, Glenisla Yeelanna, a son of Belmore Fuel Injected V12 out of Glenisla Flower L68, is doing a very good job at the Hever Shorthorn herd owned by the Eggers & Kohrs GbR in Osterhever / Schleswig-Holstein, and is still in use as senior stock bull. The second bull is Glenisla Yorker, a son of Eionmore Mr. Gus 80C out of Glenisla Rosebud L63. He was purchased by Andreas Kuehnapfel for his herd “Shorthorns vom Osterbruch” in Rullstorf / Niedersachsen. In summer 2010, Yorker was sold to Annegien and Harm Oostenbrink from Dagun in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Both bulls are well fleshed and impressively calm and pass their qualities including good frame and correctness on to their easily born offspring. They have been shown quite successfully on local exhibitions and several bull calves and heifers sired by them have been sold to other German breeders and even to some herds in Denmark and the Czech Republic. German breeders are looking forward to getting some more fresh blood from across the Channel to improve their Shorthorn herds!
