2008 SALE!
On
Monday 22nd September Gracemere saleyards, The 5 STAR Senepol bull
and female sale will be conducted. On offer will be 40 purebred Senepol bulls,
30 Senelais [SENEPOL/CHAROLAIS] as well as 20 pregnant purebred senepol females.
One
of the feature lots will be Haz 5-21, a sire that has the highest growth EBV’s
in the 5 STAR breedplan run, as
well as 8 out of 8 genes for tenderness and 8 out of 8 genes for feed
efficiency. This bull has been used for 1 season in the 5 star herds and semen
has been retained for future use. In
the last 12 months the major meat works, have offered a premium for cattle that
grade M.SA. One of the variables to
achieve a higher grading percentage is to keep Bos Indicus levels down. The
senepol is an adapted Bos Taurus breed, that
has no Bos Indicus content, yet has a reasonable level of heat and parasite
resistance. Meat Standards Australia has stated that the breeds like the senepol
offer an alternative for producers to maximise their returns, yet still have the
tropical adaptation to handle the inconsistent Northern Australian environment.
Many of the larger pastoral companies have infused the senepol into their
programs, to capitalise on this strategy. The
5 Star herds has embarked on an extensive genestar evaluation program, in
analysing over 400 animals for DNA markers for tenderness, Feed efficiency and
marbling. Generally the senepol has performed very well, especially in the area
of tenderness and feed efficiency. The 5 star herds averages just under 7 out of
8 for feed efficiency and approx 6
out of 8 for tenderness . 5
star , has paddock bulls available , as well as a number quality purebred
females for private sale . With
over senepol 400 females in the
herd , a
good amount of selection pressure is applied . Again
this year , as an incentive for buyers
taking the day off to attend the 5 star sale in September , the Maynard family
are offering all legitmate bid card holders on the day , 10 straws of semen from
select sires . NAMELY 5 star King and 5 star Merlin , King is a Hercules son
that offers great length and muscling , whilst Merlin carries two copies of the
slick gene , and consequently his calves are all very slick coated even when
crossed with a hairy Dam line . For
