Bullsalesthismonth Tehama County was the site of two bull sales in early September. Cal- ifornia will have at least 16 bull sales in Septem- ber, since many ranch- ers have fall- calving cow herds. Sept. 2 the buyers trav- eled to Los Molinos for the Byrd Cattle Co. sale of 100 bulls that aver- aged $7,070, with a top of $23,000 to JS Angus, Hyampom, U2 Angus, Pt. Reyes and Memory Ranches, New Plymouth, ID each paid $15,000 for a bull. Parker Farms, Williams purchased two bulls at $13,500 and $10,000; UF Cattle Co; Orange Cove paid $11,500; Ann Vas- sar, Dixon and Emigh Livestock, Dixon each paid $11,000; Hart Cat- tle Co,; Montague paid $10,000 for one bull and was a volume buyer with 12 bulls. Alan Shufelberger, Red- ding purchased two bulls at $10,000 each. Schene Enterprises, Dixon was volume buyer with 14 bulls. The evening of Sept. 8, the Borror family at Tehama Angus Ranch hosted a Certified Angus Beef rib-eye steak dinner and a presentation on ge- nomic testing by Kelli Re- tallick, Genetic Service Director for Angus Genet- ics, Inc. Progressive commer- cial producers are in- terested in genomics. In 1972, there were 25 An- gus bulls in the first EPD (expected progeny differ- ence) report, that com- pared cattle within the Angus breed. Classical EPD's approach is ped- igree, performance and progeny data. DNA is found with a blood sample with in- creased accuracy, and can evaluate at earlier age. Shirley Davis and I first heard of SNIPS (sin- gle, nucleotide polymor- phisms) at a Beef Im- provement Federation national convention in Sacramento a few years ago. Retallick mentioned that now there are 226,218 animals included in population of genomic percentiles, and carcass traits are highly inherit- able. Tehama Angus Ranch 42nd Annual "Genera- tions of Performance" bull sale saw a large crowd of prominent com- mercial programs on hand with bulls also sell- ing to purebred pro- grams. A friend commented to me that her daugh- ter-in-law was impressed that there were so many younger people at the sale with their children; in- fants, toddlers to primary grade. At previous sales it had been an older crowd of grey hair. I was impressed that one young family had ear protectors on their baby's head to protect her hear- ing. One hundred and twenty-three bulls sold for an average of $6,567, with a top of $12,000 to Biddick, Inc., Livings- ton, WI, who also paid $13,000 for the pick of the spring bred females.
