Top price bull, his dam and maternal brother

Thanks for that link that's much better.

I wonder after 20 years of staying true to this selection what they would look like. Your not selecting for low growth but with no selection for growth how far off something like the Lowline Angus deal would you be or Galloway but some of them might have more growth than I imagine. Maybe a...

If it encourages more people into WHR will be a real benefit. The numbers out can only be as good as the data going in. Maintaining contempory groups with strong linkages for comparison make a big difference. I think a lot of people don't realise they are hurting the epd's of there better bulls...

Had this book recommended to me. Anyone got any thoughts on it. see its $150 plus on amazon which is quite abit.

Sale averaged about 6,200 Top 12,00 lot 13 Heifers 2500 - 4000 top lot 1 kingswood cow brought 5500 Flush 4000

Missed 59 aswell. Lot 70 brought 8500 to deepwater who brought over $100,000 in bulls shows they have confidence in their programme . Ave was about $6800

Its in the rules that they have to have nose clips, Think its probably because they are worried about how much work has been put into the steers and a large number of the competitors have done very little showing or even work with animals. The group I work with are at the start of an entry level...

More Grain = darker meat ?? The steers where about 19mths Something at processing could be the problem. Steers would have been from all over the country with different diets and genetics so was surprised so many came up light coloured.

We entered some steers in a hoof and hook competition which we did well on the hoof but missed on the hook. Largely because our meat colour was to light, scoring 0 out of 10 from a total of 54 points which pretty much eliminates them. Dark meat colour scores 5 out of 10. All six of our steers...

He's really grown on well and his muscle shape is impressive. Like the murango bull aswell. Looks like you've got good grass again this year.

Thought he looked good aswell. He was purchased by Bayview Shorthorns in south Australia A New Zealand breeder went to the sale thinking he might go down that track and thought he could do it for 30000 including purchase price. With the added distance your probably looking at more than that...

Did see full results somewhere but can't find it. This years National Shorthorn Show and Sale saw a top price of $17,000 and an overall average of $5372 with 80 of the 90 bulls offered selling for a 91% clearance. The top priced bull,Lot 96 in Kamilaroi Meat Packer (P) (1060 kgs), was offered...

He was purchased in partnership by a New Zealand breeder so guess ill be able to see progeny next year.He seems to be pretty balanced in his numbers with some good bulls in his pedigree. His IMF isn't above breed av at +0.2 breed av +0.6. Good luck with him will be interesting to see how he...

The breeders like this bull as well. We breed the sire and the Wagman line isn't one we would go back to, we had to many issues with temprement  and eyes had no hooding. The sire himself seemed fine until after the sale when he was left at home by himself for a while and started to play up and I...

What are your thoughts of this guy, Pretty  heavily influenced buy North America and saw the dam sell at the Austins dispersal and was quite a good cow. http://abri.une.edu.au/online/cgi-bin/i4.dll?1=35383E28&2=2934&3=56&5=2B3C2B3C3A&6=5B5A5C5B25202F2E2F&9=52515F50&11=53525A&12=4342415C
