$110,000 Shorthorn Bull - New Sire - The Grove Oscar |
|
Sire: The Grove Lockyer
|
Dam: The Grove Dale 39th |
Oscar was purchased at The Grove bull sale for $55,000, for a half posession and marketing share, valuing the bull at $110,000. After the loss of his sire, The Grove Lockyer, two days prior to The Grove's sale, the decision to purchase Oscar was made. His sire is a bull that bred excellent quality, no matter what cow he was joined to. Oscar's dam was the leading matron at The Grove for many years and produced 36 calves both naturally and by ET before her death at 16 years. We look farward to the arrival of his calves next year. |

New Sire - Dunbeacon ASX A152 (P) |
|
| Sire: Nagol Park Y2K Wallstreet W35 |
Dam: Dunbeacon W1035 (P) |
Dunbeacon ASX (P) was purchased for his low birthweight, sire line, carcass atributes and is fine coated and slick skinned. He will be used on heifers this season. You will rarely see such high growth and low birth weight in one package, with
very strong maternal traits. Top 1% for milk.
