What happened to the lot 37 bull

It wont let me open the results page. What did lot 40....the white bull bring?

$5,250  sold to Jungels Shorthorn Farm

Lot 37 broke his front leg .

This sale was more proof that there is a commercial audience who want to use Shorthorn bulls... and it is growing every year. They are looking for rugged, no nonsense bulls with sound structure and they are looking for places where they have adequate selection to buy from. The outfits in the US and Canada that provide numbers of Shorthorn bulls have been able to build markets for them especially with commercial producers. In the US outfits like Waukaru, Jungels, Lovings as well as several others are proving they can market Shorthorn bulls commercially.  This does not happen over night and it takes an incredible amount of patience and work to build a marketing program.... but the rewards make it all worthwhile. I can't think of a show ring win, that even comes close to matching the feeling you have when you see commercial producers bidding and buying bulls in the $5000-$8000 range. Congrats to the Who's Your Daddy group for another good sale.

To those who constantly say " you can't sell Shorthorn bulls to commercial producers" I have to ask... how hard have you tried and are you paying any attention to what the commercial producer wants to use?

I think it was a pretty steady sale, it sure helps to be selling bulls into a strong cattle market. The most important thing that has happened in the last ten years is that we now have lots of quality shorthorn bulls selling at public auction in Western Canada. I think this gives the commercial producer some confidence that they are going to be able to access enough bulls for their needs and is probably why we are seeing larger operations buying shorthorn bulls.

I have had a commercial breeder not buy a bull from me because I only had one, and he wanted two!  It was after my sale and I was keeping him for own use, so he was not bad, but he wanted two bulls of the same breed!
