GENOMICS
HOT UP CONFERENCE

in beef cattle is a hot topic in the seedstock industry. Can the results
be verified and will these tests replace EBVs as the industry’s

subject will put forward their arguments at the Angus Australia National
Conference on April 27 in Albury, NSW. More….

BULLS
IN DEMAND
The 2010 bull selling season is well under way with close to 1000 Angus
bulls sold at auction in Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria.
This is close to 60% of all bulls sold so far this year. The current average
price is running a bit behind what it was at the same time last year so
this could be the time to get out there and buy some Angus bulls with
Breedplan figures. The upcoming Angus bull sales in Victoria and southern
New South Wales are all listed in the Coming Events on the website and
most have online catalogues. The results of bull sales in the 10 major
breeds also appear on the website.
