In Palgrove’s bull sale catalogue they said this sale represents the very essence of what we are trying to achieve in our breeding programme at Palgrove – real ‘genetic gain’ that will enable the progeny you breed to improve ‘year in year out’.
“If you want ‘herd improving’ stud sire or you’re a commercial producer seeking faster early weight gain; wanting to improve the ‘balance’ of the carcass traits (eye muscle; fat cover and marbling) or simply looking to get your cattle to a range of target markets more efficiently – we guarantee that you will find one of our 110 Charolais bulls to fit your requirements,” Palgrove said.
