Quebec Bull Test

Sat. Feb 16 on www.liveauctions.tv---over 100 bulls from 5 breeds.  I have 2 awesome sons of Crooked Post Tamarack. The lead Shorthorn bull,with 110.3cm ribeye and best conformation results over all breeds!!!!! The 2nd bull  weighed off test at 1401 lbs at 369 days....lots of performance!!!!
Complete results at www.agrireseau.qc.ca; bovins de boucherie;centre d'elevage (CEB) and then Saint Martin Rapport final.  Have fun getting out your french-english dictionary!!!!! <beer>

That one bull must have been one of the high performers of all breeds (thumbsup)

Thanks Dan for the compliment. The Tamarack offspring seem to have that extra muscling that is needed in today's industry,but his offspring do not give up any conformation. The lead bull today is not as big as my high performance bull,but he scored the highest score in the whole station for conformation!(These bulls are visually appraised by 3 producers-1 purebred and 2 commercial) for muscling,front legs and rear legs.Also.the lead bull,Tag 101, has a ribeye of 110.3 cm---- bigger than alot of Continentals!!
But here in Quebec, the industry is still controlled by the Charolais and Simmental---as we usually have abundant feed. So I will not be surprised ,again, to see poorer quality Char & Sim outsell some good Angus and Shorthorn.
