Record price set in an auction for a bull
Cattle producer Schaff Angus Valley, Saint Anthony, North Dakota has set a new record by selling a bull for no less than $800,000. SAV Elation 7899 is a result of hard work and genetics, the producer describes it as a "rare combination of low birth weight, high growth and excellent beef quality.", reports Drovers magazine.
Of course, the buyers didn't invest that kind of money just to test the beef but to use it as a breeding bull for different herds. The bull was purchased by Square B Ranch and Cattle Company of Warsaw, Montana, and Bogle Ranch LLC of Langley, Oklahoma, while Schaff Angus Valley retained 20% ownership interest.
The owners intend to collect Elation semen and sell it to other cattle producer which means that other 'bulls of its type could soon be spotted in the herds. If not..., well, at least America will have some great steaks from Elation's descendants!
