Most of the sale bulls are developed on forage oats and as it gets into spring will have seed head developing so would be pretty good feed. End of August is a good time to visit with Yamburgan, Futurity and Marellan  selling in the same week and Dunbeacon the week after. Think I might send dad...

Thanks for the explanation, will be interesting to see him in the flesh with those comments in mind in July. Dan, re thought your EBV comment and think that the different registries do have different strengths which you would expect with different environments and selection pressures. Not sure...

Thanks for commenting, no one really does frame scores here so only going off what I've read and seen of this site I would say he would be at least a 6 probably a 7. Xbar. Is it just the muscling of his hindquarter or is the something structural your seeing? Numbers are a consideration for me...

Other than having more sheath than I would like I thought this guy looked alright what are your thoughts. http://glenrossie.co.nz/2014shorthornsalebulls.html

The Dale 39th cow would be one of the more influential  cows in Australia with 36 progeny. Among her sons is Condamine probably second only to Theodore for number of progeny and flush brother to kookaburras dam, Legend A584 sire at Yamburgan and Oscar also at Yamburgan who paid 55000 for a half...

How did the angus breed identify and develop these genetics? It seems to me the easiest way to reduce bwt is to strip the bone out of the calf which is why I'm comfortable being abit heavier than some angus. I understand the relationship of bwt to growth but it seems accepted some angus...

Good looking calf, looks like he'll be pretty thick.

Growth is definitely a profit driver but would hope we can do it without lifting bwt.  Was involved in updating our $indexes a couple of years ago which you model a typical production system for a cow herd estimating costs and income. At that time income was relatively high compared to the...

This is the $28000 son of Pakaraka Legends Rose, There is also a video on the outback shorthorns website. Dan do you have pictures of the calves out of the Butterfield cow she looked pretty impressive.

The best bull we've used at moving our herd in the direction we wanted. More moderate, good birth to growth curve and carcass with muscle shape. My semen almost gone so hope to get some bull calves this year. Will look forward to seeing these Canadian calves develop they tick so many boxes for...

If colour and horns are discounted are they not economic traits. We are already limited on the age we can dehorn at some stage it will probably become a vet only practice how everything is going with added cost.

I think that's where the linkages with other herds are important. Semen is available on both bulls and there are probably a number of sons being used that if data is being submitted should be improving accuracy. We have major Leroy at about breed average for birth weight and 30th percentile for...

They would adjust quicker if they where linked with other herds recording relevant data or if he was used with a high accuracy sire in the same contempory group. With no variance in your calving ease data you won't see that change much. We have the same problem with imported sires, it takes a...

That's disappointing looked like a good bull. Had that happen day before sale two years ago. Very frustrating! Good sale though well done vendors

What happened to the lot 37 bull

Searched some of those animals in the Australian system which was interesting. Rodeo drive your top bull was 0.0 for IMF 95th percentile with high accuracy (bit scary the difference) Titilest +.5 about breed average high accuracy improver+.9 low accuracy. Talking to some Australian breeders...
