2016 CSBBA Bull Test To Start Soon: January 9, 2016

The Central Beefmaster Breeders Association (CSBBA) Bull Test and Sale play an integral part in CSBBA’s ability to become a reliable and consistent genetic supplier of Beefmaster and Beefmaster Advancer genetics to both the commercial and purebred cattleman. It is CSBBA’s intent to create long term relationships with their buyers and friends. They welcome you into their program and look forward to having you as a participant.

CSBBA has created a bull test handbook to help provide more information about the highly anticipated test. You will find the required delivery forms and a delivery checklist in the following handbook. All bulls must have complete paperwork and full payment at delivery and you must be a current 2016 CSBBA member. Direct questions on animal registration or performance records to Davin Vaughn (417-793-1830). The enclosed contact list identifies other point persons for other questions.

The intent of the handbook is to convey to you management philosophies that allow the CSBBA Bull Test and Sale team to put together a strong, consistent set of bulls. You must strive to breed cattle that not only possess strong maternal traits but also add profitable carcass traits.

The accuracy and integrity of CSBBA record keeping is essential to insure the positive uniformity and consistency that commercial bull buyers demand.

It is important for you to understand the CSBBA selection criteria. Very simply, they demand performance from your bulls. This means CSBBA will insist on receiving the elite individuals within your calf crop.

Finally, CSBBA truly appreciates your participation in the 2016 CSBBA Performance Bull Test and Sale. They look forward to meeting their new consignors and working with everyone in the coming year. Keith Cagle of Rose Bud Feeders LLC is happy to show consignors, visitors, and prospective buyers the bulls at any time, but can give more attention to those who call ahead. Please do not hesitate to call on anyone listed in the contact list to answer questions. Input and suggestions from consignors for improvements in the process are always welcome.
