A POLL Hereford bull made $45,000 for Injemira Beef Genetics today.
The strapping 958-kilogram bull, Injemira Anzac H006, had been billed in the catalogue as one of the best bulls the operation had ever offered.
Prospective buyers agreed, quickly pushing prices to a top of $45,000 – a new record for Injemira.
He was snapped up by Sam Becker, Jarrah Herefords, Rockhampton, Queensland.
By Allendale Anzac E114 – a $30,000 purchase by Injemira at the 2011 Dubbo Poll Hereford National – the bull had estimated breeding values in the top one per cent for the EU index.
In all, Injemira cleared 69 bulls to buyers from five states for an average of $6891 to set a new benchmark for the autumn sale season.
