On farm productivity can be improved through genetic selection for traits such as fertility, calving ease, structural soundness and temperament. Fertility is a major profit driver, with genetic selection for fertility traits such as scrotal size and days to calving ebvs.
All the sale bulls have undergone a Veterinary Bull Breeding Soundness evaluation by Dr Ben Gardiner and vaccinated for vibriosis. Significant amounts of birth weight data is collected by weighing calves at birth, this increases the reliability of the calving ease ebvs in the Booroomooka catalogue.
