More than 50 registered buyers from Julia Creek, Normanton, Townsville, Mooroopna, Tumbarumba, Bundarra as well as many centres in the Riverina and Hunter Valley were on hand to secure the final offering of rough stock from Peter and Tim Kennedy.
In total, 51 horses averaged $1809 while 39 bulls recorded a $1893 average.
It was the offering of horses that attracted the highest prices with Twisted Sister hitting $10,400 to Kevin Kealy, East Gresford in the Hunter Valley.
Another 10-year-old horse, Baggie Boots, also sold to Mr Kealy for $7000.
Two other horses, Big MG and Tessie Two made $6600.
The first bull out of the chute was Wild Eyes, a son of 8 Ball out of a Silver City Bonecrusher cow, who reached $8250 and found a new home at Pittsworth in Queensland.
Other highlights in the bull offering included Turn Down For What who made $5000 while Party Animal reached $4000 to Craig Long, Luddenham.
The Nakadoo connections were pleasantly surprised with the interest in the Young Gun bulls with Little Thunder reaching $3900 and another bull, Jack Daniels, hitting $3000.
The donkeys were also well supported with locals Sam Taylor and Emma Nalder securing the top priced lots for $600 and $500 respectively.
