SAV Elation 7899, a brute of an Angus bull, was sold in early February for $800,000. Greg Henderson, editor, shares some perspective on the bull’s price compared to the recent sale of a meteor. Elation will live a life of bull stud luxury where his semen will be collected and sold so his genetics will trickle through America’s cowherds for years.

Elation is not a fluke, he represents years of hard work and know-how. The bull’s worth is derived from genetics the owners describe as a “rare combination” of low birth weight, high growth and excellent beef quality.
