LOT SUMMARY INFORMATION

Contemporary Group

The two summaries for both 18 month old in blue and 12 month bulls in green are different contemporary groups and their scan data was taken on different dates and they were raised under different conditions – they should not be compared as such.

Ebv Summary

This is an EBV summary only and another group run (the Mid August TACE Analysis) will have occurred between now and the sale so please go on to Auctionsplus or Angus Tech to get the latest EBV’s.

In regards to $Indexes and Claw and Angle Scores for each bull we have listed their percentile bands as opposed to their EBV’s as our clients have given us feedback that that is much easier to understand.

Scan Data

Scans were taken on 10 June 2022 for the 18 month bulls, and on 29 July 2022 for the 12 month bulls by Roger Evans (Accredited Assessor Number 1018).

Coat

Visual Coat Scores were assessed. Selecting animals for a sleeker coat may increase their adaptability. Coat Scores are recorded on a 1 – 6 scale, with 1 being sleek and 7 being woolly. Coast Score 1 is extremely short and found in some Bos Indicus and some of their crossbreds.

CT Type

2 Very short

3 Fairly short

4 Fairly Long

5 Long

6 Hairy

Frame

The height or ‘frame’ of cattle at a given age is closely related to maturity type. Smaller framed cattle generally have an earlier maturity pattern than larger framed cattle.

Structural Data

All structural Data was also scored independently by Roger Evans on 8 July 2023. Except for coat and Frame which was scored by us.
