Blonde cross calves perform exceptionally well in the feedlot. Some feedlotters claim Blonde cross calves "explode" when placed on the feedlot. With the breed's known high feed efficiency, as proven by the Vasse Feed Trials in WA, feedlotters are getting more growth and using less grain to finish a Blonde sired animal.
ACM is proud to announce the launch of a new online promotional opportunity and competition - Sire Shootout.
Limitations may be in place on travel and visitors at the moment but that doesn’t mean that sale bulls need go unnoticed. Sire Shootout is an opportunity to promote Registered and Herd bulls* far beyond the local clientele,outside of the breeders state border and as far as an international audience. Beyond the prizes and competition status on offer, this is one of the best marketing opportunities ACM has ever offered.
We would love to have a strong representation of the Blonde d'Aquitaine breed showcased in this online promotional event.We would be appreciative of your support if you could please push the Sire Shootout out to your current member database via your platforms. This is an exciting opportunity for any Australian blonde breeder leading into the start of the Queensland selling season.
