Online auction set for quality Hereford bulls tested in tough feeding conditions
CASPER – An online auction will be held April 12-15 for bulls that participated in a feed efficiency test at the University of Wyoming’s Sustainable Agriculture Research Extension Center (SAREC) in Lingle, Wyo.
The Wyoming Hereford Association’s 2011 Forage Based Feed Efficiency Test Internet Auction is offering bulls that took part in a new Residual Feed Intake (RFI) test using the GrowSafe system at SAREC.
“Top Hereford breeders from Wyoming tested a wide variety of high quality genetics with some very good results in some tough winter feeding conditions. These bulls offered are high quality. Producers interested in the upsurge in the Hereford breed should be very pleased with the bulls offered in this sale,” said Scott Keith, Livestock Genetics Program manager for the Wyoming Business Council.
Six Wyoming Hereford producers entered 40 bulls in the test which ran from Dec. 7, 2010 to Feb. 15, 2011. The producers included Jay Berry Herefords of Cheyenne; Largent and Sons of Kaycee; S.E. West and Sons of Lusk; Middleswarth Ranch of Torrington; McClun’s Polled Herefords of Veteran; and Hadley Ranch Co. of Wheatland.
