Livestock Market Update: First ever fully online bull semen sale coming soon
New opportunity to access quality cattle genetics.
In co-operation with bidr® PGG Wrightson takes the first step in a new genetics initiative on 7 September, with a fully online bull semen sale.
Various beef studs around New Zealand, incorporating all breeds, are putting up packages from some of their best bulls. This will be a new option to source good quality genetics at competitive rates, promising a wide variety of genetics and EBVs to suit, and therefore something to appeal to breeders, beef and dairy farmers alike.
Plenty of people are now using artificial insemination to add value and advance the genetics of their herds. With the convenience and competition of an online auction, this event will be an easy, low cost, minimum stress way to access the genetic material to achieve just that.
For more information or to list semen for sale, contact Callum Stewart 027 280 2688, and to attend the auction, visit https://bidr.co.nz/auction/819 on Tuesday 7 September at 7:00pm.
Callum Stewart, PGG Wrightson Livestock National Genetics Manager
