A video of the NEW WORLD RECORD selling bull SAV America 8018. $1.51 MILLION. Sold on February 9, 2019. Sold by Schaff Angus Valley. Purchased by Herbster Angus Farms. Quite a spectacle to see.
I don't get it but I don't have to. I don't have $1.51 million for property let alone a bull. More power to those who know and do. Congratulations! God bless.
Charlie not likely. They need to sell around 20k straws of semen to break even. The bull has to produce 20k straws. Which will take a long time. Best bull collection I had on any of mine was 419 straws in one collection. Whoever bought the bull just got a hell of a tax write off. I don’t know the Schaff’s personally. They seem like really good people and their cattle clearly work or people would not return year after year. But Herbster Angus is a write off for Conklin. Each year tops the previous year high seller. Herbster has bought most of the high sellers. It seems to me that it’s now just a pissing contest for the elite who need to hide money. Don’t get me wrong, the elite could show up here and buy any damn critter on the farm for that kind of cash.
Around the 3:01 mark auctioneer says he sold him, although before he said that there was a chanter trying to get another bid in... seems like fair play? Or is it? 🤔
For that price you would build him a sling and let him hang for the rest of his life. That bull's gonna get milked like Libarache's pool boy no matter what.
That is great for Kelly his family and program but how does that represent the entire cattle industry.. it is really hard to pay the bills with $1.50 calves let along spend that kind of money on one bull or sell the semen. Question is what is the average cost for a bull in the Angus herd? I own Angus cattle and this is not a good representation of what the herd is about.
I called about semen on him. It was 80 dollars a straw minimum of 10. 80 dollars a certificate minimum of 10. It wouldn't take long to pay for him. Plus his heifers will cost you 10,000 at least. So don't feel too sorry for them. It's a business decision and a gamble like any other. Sav sold a bull for 800,000 a couple years earlier
To put it in sports terms this bull is like have Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Bill Russell, etc all in their prime playing on the same team for the next 20-25 years. No injuries and no missed games. Just keep him healthy and keep producing straws ( that is what a individual semen extraction is called) multiple straws in a single ejaculation.
@@aaronwilton6531 lady was clearly joking but regular homosexual sex acts for various reasons (ranging from social status to bonding to pleasure seeking to just a noted "preference" over females in some unusual individuals) and even lifelong pairings are well documented in a few hundred species including bottlenose dolphins, rams, bonobos, swans and albatrosses. Have your own opinion on folks but base it on facts
