In 2009 all previous performance records for a sire group
at Rawburn were shattered by the offspring of Rawburn Randolph
F555. These calves were born easily, grew faster and were
more powerful than any sire group we have ever had at Rawburn.
Ranked
on Terminal Index, Randolph sired 8 of the top 15 bull calves
born in the UK in 2008. No other sire had more than 1.

1 (Rawburn Transformer had 2)
Performance
figures indicate only part of the reason why we feel that
this bull is our greatest achievement to date. Numbers do
not tell you about his exceptionally docile temperament, his
ability to maintain body condition or his high level of fertility
(He naturally put in-calf 56 cows over a period of 3 months
at only 16 months of age).
