SAV-bred Angus bull selling

This coming Saturday, October 16, we will be selling an outstanding pure SAV bred year-old bull.Eartag #17.  He sells eighth. We purchased embryos from SAV cows and in this case resulted in a fantastic bull. He has compteted in the Indiana Bull test station and went through with flying colors finishing second high index of all bulls, regardless of breed and missed first place by 1%. He is an SAV 8180 Traveler 004 son by an SAV daughter of Bando 5175. His SAV grand dam is a Pathfinder donor at SAV and this bul(Eartag 17)l had 5 maternal sisters  sell in their sale a couple years ago and averaged $11,500 as calves! His reg. number is 16535488...born 9-15-09..NicKatie 9106 Embly Net. There are quite a few Emblynette bred bulls in bull studs. At 370 days, the week of his first birthday, he weighed 1480 pounds at the test station! He averaged close to 5lbs/day on test since this spring at the test station. Birth weight was 85 lbs. His EPD's and carcass details  can be found on his AAA pedigree or the Indiana Bull Evaluation Program (IBEP) site....call Purdue at 765-494-0138....or call Richard Huntrods directly (he is manager of the test farm) for his insights on the bull. He has passed all the soundness exams and has also been declared FREE of AM...NH...AND CA.....might be the ONLY bull selling with CA in his pedigree but he has been tested CAF by Dr. Beever himself! Feel free to contact me if any further info is needed. The sale will be this Sat. afternoon and broadcast live on DVAuction.  NicKatie Angus    John Finke    812-350-9942  Columbus, IN

How many contemporaries were in the test? Could you post his EPDs? Is there a sale catalog somewhere for this sale? Thanks. Sounds like he should make someone one heck of a good bull.
