LE MARTRES Beef sold Limousin bulls to $8000 at their annual on property bull sale at Table Top last Friday.
A total of seven of forty bulls on offer were sold to the $8000 top and average of $7143.
Leon Martin, Le Martres, said the sale was not what they expected and was very quiet which resulted in only a small clearance of bulls.
"It's a sign of the times," he said.
"We were in a similar situation a few years ago. I had rung clients who haven't had any breakdowns so we're at that part of the cycle where people aren't in need of a new bull for the season."
The top priced bull was Le Martres Rohan purchased by repeat buyer Lachie Owen, Gundagai.

The two and a half year-old apricot Limousin bull, sired by Le Martres Lafferty, was described by Mr Martin as a lovely mature bull.
"He is very well muscled and has lots of length," he said.
The sale was conducted by Ray White GTSM, Albury, and was interfaced with AuctionsPlus.
