[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 679669, member: 13"] We've been testing Angus bulls for several years. It was a good tool to help a small breeder, like us, get established. We can put our bulls on test alongside bigger, more established names and see how we compare. So can the buyer. More people will come to the test station sale than will ever come to our ranch to look at our bulls. You get all kinds of data that the buyers are starting to expect these days, ADG, WDA, ultrasound, Igenity. Those are pros. Cons are the cost, of course. And we did have a bull die on test last year. These last few years, we've sold more bulls from home than at the test station sale. Sale expenses aren't cheap, plus the night in a hotel and gasoline to make the trip. We use the sale prices from the last test station sale to help price the bulls here at home. [/QUOTE]
