Wow! Look at the prices being achieved for bulls and the recent rains looks like we are entering another great season for 2023.

Doesn't seem to matter if they have a flatback, hump, purebred or a hybrid. These prices are un-precedented. Take some of the risk out with Semen/Morphology testing prior to putting your bulls out this season so you don't miss out on calves next year.

In an unparalleled sequence during the 2022 spring bull selling season, there’s been an avalanche of new beef breed record prices set over the past week. No less than four popular terminal and straightbred breeds have set new benchmarks over the past seven days – some pushing the new mark as muc...

She identifies the direct cost to seedstock producers of culling those bulls which fail s***m morphology testing from their sale drafts, as a....

She covered topics raised by the participant graziers including various aspects of BBSE and S***m Morphology testing. One young member of the crowd was brave enough to hold the collection probe - experiencing a very faint tingling, not at all painful.
