On the Saturday before the bull sale, Snyder Livestock holds an informative seminar for all livestock producers. This year's seminar will feature Dr. Gary Sides, who will instill in producers pride of our technological advancements in agriculture, especially in the beef industry. Additionally, Tery Tanner will be discussing realistic expectations of vaccines or why vaccines "fail". The seminar will begin at 4 PM on Saturday, March 9th at the Casino West Convention Center in Yerington. Be sure to attend to learn more about the beef industry and to enjoy cowboy camaraderie with your fellow beef producers. This year we have 186 consigned bulls for the test and we plan to sell 120 of the bulls in the sale. The bulls are evaluated in seven areas. Individual scores for fertility, weight gain on the test, conformation, muscle structure, ultrasound data, feed efficiency, and weaning performance contribute to the total ranking of the bulls. The feed efficiency test data is included in the test again this year. Equipment produced by GrowSafe Systems provides individualized feed and water consumption. This data is then utilized to calculate feed efficiency for each bull. Snyder Livestock is the first bull test in the Western united States to incorporate feed efficiency into the testing data. |
