AG GROW JULY 2010
The Ag Grow Superior Bull
Sale was held at the Emerald
Field Day
site on Thursday 8 July and
Friday 9 July 2010. This
sale heralds the
start of the 2010 - 2011
financial year multi-vendor
stud and
commercial sales; and is
usually a guide to future
sale events during
this selling season.
The sale cleared 67% of the
catalogue for an overall
average of
$3,260. The Gelbvieh draft
of 12 stud and Gelbvieh
infused bulls sold
above that percentage to
clear 75% for an average
price of $2,861.
The top selling stud bull
was Sunshine Dynamite D122,
at $3,250, from
the Chaplin family, while
the top selling commercial
bull at $5,000, was
the O’Halloran’s Gelbvieh
cross Brahman, Terley 819.
Vendors and agents alike
were disappointed with the
overall sale
results and they indicated
that confidence in the
industry is lacking at
present.
Gelbvieh stud vendors who
supported the 2010 Sale were
Queenslanders Glen and Donna
Chaplin ‘Sunshine’ Cooroy,
Dieter
Ruzicka ‘Homebush’ Allora,
Terry and Shirley O’Halloran
‘Terley’
Clifton; and NSW breeders
Michael and Wendy Jackson
‘Double J’
Guyra.
The Gelbvieh display stand
was again conducted under
the banner of
the Australian Gelbvieh Asn.
Inc. Qld Branch, however
very cold,
showery, windy conditions on
the Thursday restricted
activity around
all display sites.
Thanks to all vendors who
supported the sale. Members
look forward
to meeting again at the
Toowoomba Showgrounds on
Saturday 21
August 2010, for the 2010
Gelbvieh Sale, where both
bulls and
females are lotted.
