Anyone going to be there on Thursday?
We were there...the Murray Greys were all fairly nice and went for a steal...they all had really good genetics and a couple were put together exceptionally well. I didn't register to buy as I'm not needing a bull til next year but had I, I would have brought one home...there was a lot 1274 from H Diamond Cattle that was just REALLY nice. People are in a bit of an uproar over GeneStar changing their scoring system. Even though its supposed to be more accurate you can't convert the older GeneStar "stars"... I guess the only solution is to retest current animals previously tested by the original "star" system.cmf1":262nv8k2 said:I was there via the internet. Now that's a bunch of bulls.
The Murray Greys looked very good to me and sold for extremely reasonable prices.

HEY!!!! Which one did you buy? My bull's brother was sold there...maybe you got him!!! My bulls brother's were 1277 and 1278 but it was 1278 that was EXCEPTIONAL!! (as far as his numbers). It doesn't matter WHICH one you bought...you made a GREAT decision!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! you have to keep us posted! When do you get him? p.s. my bulls sire is Lindsay Elect and his dam is HD Ritzy Lady.cmf1":2hyied8w said:I ended up buying an MG and am pretty excited about it. I have been waxing over the MG's for a while now and am finally taking a plunge in.
I posted him on the Breeds Board under "Opinions Please on this Bull".
Any input would be appreciated cus even though he's mine it's a little bit of a leap for me.

I have been enamored with the MG's by every owner that I've talked with over the last 2 1/2 years. I've got all sorts of reservations about bringing a northern bull way down yonder and the diet change (bahaia vs ?), and the black hide, etc.. It's all an adventure for me. But I'm thinking he's young enough to adapt and do well.
What held me up was the odd orginization support on the breed. Made me think the cattle might be suspect. The owners however, alot with nothing to sell to me, to a person, felt that they owned and worked the best breed of cattle around. Old hands to newbies and everything in between.
True or not, I figure it's worth a shot.
