White Lakes Bootlegger
Homozygous Polled and Black

Sire: WHITE LAKES WORLD CLASS
Dam: WHITE LAKES TRUE GYPSY

They don't come much better than "Boots" who was 2007 National Champion. Moderate birth weight with easy calving, high milk and terrific weight gain. Homozygous polled so all progeny are polled. Heterozygous black so we have a bob each way on colour. His black and apricot daughters have all been kept as they have tremendous volume. Well above average carcase weight and index values. He has an amenable nature and all his progeny are quiet.
