SAV Sale

[thommoos]

As someone said it is the syndicate that buys these animals, look for the semen to sell for a premium, seen with my breed, syndicate push their agenda. Conspiracy against the samll guy they got the money and the promotion to do it, did not 7l sell female donor for 700k a few years ago? To me it is all hype, give me a real bull anyway over one with a feeding tube down it'd throat. I heArd stories of feed high in fat with the appropriate hormones to enduce constant feeding, just like show feed, even with implants.

Looked at 9969 and ringmaster energy is way low but radg is way up 9969 went to .41 ringmaster has I+.25 so i guess it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. I dont think I couldnt take the same genetics, and feed and accomplish what they have. But i sure would like to wean that kind of calves even if they were on feed from day 1.

Can some please explain? I just a dumb Aussie trying to make sense of it all

Ill try to explain what i think is right. Radg is a post weaning number that says if you feed each animal (for simple #S)10lbs of feed its about how they convert that feed to Rate of Average Daily Gain (RADG) the average is .12 so a higher # is better. So 9969 if i understand it right would gain .29lbs more than another with the same feed per day (.41-.12). Which to me if your selling calves is a big plus and if your in a feedlot those are the calves i would want.JMO.

Very happy to hear those fabulous prices (300K & 350K, and such important averages!!!) paid for the SAV genetics!!!, this is the second year we're heavilly using Final Answer,Traveler 004, Bismarck, Net Worth & Pioneer, have had a very good first SAV crop, and a better one being born currently!!!, here in the River Plate area they are already a must, a paramount influence, and everybody in the business having had such very good results with all these SAV bloodlines!!!, the're darn good!!!...

Herbster Farms spent $997,000.00 on six animals-------- 2 bulls, 3 heifers and a cow. Apparently Conklin Company products peddlers had a very good year....
