Sage x Bridge Spring 2026

Additional Litter Information

Litter Goals:

Longevity and performance. Mr. Speaker lived just short of 16 years. His son Rusty lived over 16 years and his living son Dusty is still working at 9 years. I tested Dusty's semen last year at 9. He had over 800m in a single collection. Over 93% of it was viable. Longevity and robust are key genetics I'm combining with a UK line.
