Sal and I would like to Thank all the successful purchasers of Dynamic Damsels from the Dulverton Female Production Sale Friday 13/3/2020.
We were very happy with the way the fifty eight (58) Young Angus Gals presented, the agony endured re the selection process and with putting up females of the Calibre of ANNIE M10, ANNIE N42, WILCOOLA N65, PENNY P152 & WILCOOLA Q64 was all worth it in the end.
The Sale was unique in itself in that we were able to return to our long held passion of trying to identify the DNA Markers that locate the sets of Genes that control the expression of the Economically important Traits by testing using the NEOGEN Genomic approach for their suite of traits. Note it was 2009 when we last reported Feed Efficiency, Marbling and Tenderness data in our Bull Sales from the 56 DNA-Marker panel that was developed over the preceding decade by Genetic Solutions and Catapault. Thanks to the IGS/Igenity “data sharing partnership” and Igenities Australian arm Neogen we were able to present that suite of data for the sixteen traits. Of particular comfort to Sal n Me is how well the 71 sampled individuals being considered for this sale performed for Marbling, 12th rib carcase fatness, Tenderness, Heifer pregnancy rate & Maternal Stayability/Birth Weight. These traits along with Feed efficiency are so important re fulfilling our dollar driving productivity goals- the VALUE DETERMINING TRAITS-:
- Maternal Stayability Longevity
- Eating Quality Tenderness Juiciness and Flavour
- Feed Efficiency including a yet to be developed Cow at Pasture Measure
- Beef Yield
Watch this Space for more Detail and information re this Genetic Measurement/Reporting Developments as they assist define the Beef Industries Economic Sustainability/Future
