Fleetwood was a top-selling bull from Tubmill Creek in 2019 . He caught our attention with his outstanding eye-appealing phenotype and backed it up with a tremendous set of calving-ease and carcass EPDs . He has proven himself to be the perfect mating for heifers , with 100 % of his calves born unassisted . Carcass , calving-ease , substance of bone and eye appeal is what to expect from Fleetwood .
