Georgia’s Bull Power Group Begins Development Program
Georgia’s Bull Power Group began their third bull development program by delivering 54 bulls to the farm of Terry Chandler, located near Danielsville, in northeast Georgia. This year’s consignors include Randy Daniel, Billy Moss, John Callaway, Dwight Cooper, Burt Jeffords, Larry Rodgers, Chris Throne, Mike McCravy, David Gazda, Todd Alford, Alan Verner and Tony Padgett.

Included in the group are 26 SimAngus, 4 Simmentals, 4 Balancers, 3 ChiAngus and 17 Angus bulls, all born in September and October 2006. Bulls were delivered to the development site on June 4 and will be weighed and go on test June 20. Bulls have been vaccinated for BRSV, Pasteurella, 5-Way Leptospirosis, 7-Way Clostridium, IBR/PI3 and Haemophilus Somnus and were vaccinated twice before delivery with a wart vaccine. At delivery they were also tested for Persistently-infected BVD. Any bulls testing positive will be removed from the development
center.

Bulls are sired by some of the leading AI bulls in their respective breeds including R&R Warehouse, New Design 878, 3C Macho, Momentum, Black Perfector, Dream On, Venom, Traveler 004, Power Alliance, Partisover Precision, BC Matrix, Sitz Alliance 6595, EXT and TC Freedom.

The bulls are being developed in three, five acre traps that contain hybrid Bermuda grass and on self-feeders consuming a by-product ration designed for 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. per day average daily gain that promotes maximum development without causing excessive fat accumulation. Previous Bull Power buyers have commented how Bull Power bulls have held up in their first breeding season as long-yearlings which is attributed to how they are developed.

Terry Chandler provides daily management for the bulls located on his farm near Danielsville. Terry’s daughter, Kim, assists her father in the daily operations which include managing feed bunks, daily health care, weighing animals and sorting bulls when necessary.

In October, the group of bulls will be frame score measured, semen tested and ultrasound measurements taken in preparation for the sale held the last Friday in November.
