Angus bulls at Young sold to happy clients

The top price paid was $12,750, with the sale average of $7878 achieved for 37 sold.

It was a good result for Mr Day, who said his aim is to breed commercially relevant Angus bulls and sold for a price commensurate to the return of steers and heifers in the market place.

"I want to sell bulls to long-term clients who appreciate the stamina, structure and longevity of the bulls which are offered out of the paddock," he said.

Mr Day said he previously sold bulls privately to a loyal clientele.

"We used AuctionsPlus last year and it went well for us," he said.

The $12,750 top-priced bull, Milong Rowen R15 a 28-month-old son of Raff Pershore L169, was bought by Lach Bassingthwaight, Cootamundra.

Weighing 918kg, but with a birthweight of 39kg, Rowen R15 has that extra eye appeal, overall structural development and capacity of an outstanding sire.

Mr Bassingthwaight purchased a second bull for $10,500.

Milong Remote R26 sold for the second-top price of $12,500 to Ross Lavis, Braidwood.

Also an 28-month-old son of Raff Pershore L169, he had a birthweight of 39kg.

Volume buyers included John Crawford, Cootamundra, who took four home to a top of $10,000, SJ and SC Reddie, Hughenden, Qld, who bought four at a $6000 average, and M Davidson Trading Company, Young, who added three to its sire battery to a top of $9500.

The sale was settled by Riverina Livestock Agents, Wagga Wagga.
