All Innovis sales are a standard auction now. Wasn’t a fan of the previous way of selling at all. Glad they have seen the light.Aren't they all commercial Maternals at the end of the day?
Innovis you don't get that option. You can't just buy a cull or a cheap tup which nobody else likes - regardless of your intentions of use with that tup.
Their Terminals are priced the same as the Maternals starting price is around £600 IIRC - and it's a like it or lump it situation... and if 2 people put their hand up, it becomes an auction
Given how many went unsold at Carlisle the 2 times I went, I'd be very interested to know how many of these expensive tups end up as dog food at the end of the year because they're left with them
Having used nothing but Innovis tups, maternal and terminal, for the last 6 years, I have had an almost entirely positive experience . Only downside I have had was an Abermax tup that left overly bare lambs at birth. Grew into good sheep but not woolly enough for this part of the world
