2024 BULL SALE -

A wonderful day with a fantastic result achieved was the overwhelming consensus of sale day 2024.
​

In a tough year climatically and economically it was a ballsy call to increase bull numbers a further 10% from sale 2023 but as the old adage goes "quality will always sell" and so it turned out. With 88/88 bulls all selling and at an average of $11,072 it was an exceptional result. With a high of $70,000 for lot 28 to Kaharau and Ratanui studs, with lots 16 and 36 also going to stud duties.

The evenness of quality from start to finish was something to behold. With a whopping 40% of bulls sold going to either first or second time buyers there was a buzz about the quality attracting a lot of new attention. Buyers were well pleased though with prices, with 46 of the 88 bulls (52%) selling for $9500 or less showing fantastic value was still to be had.
​
Even the weather played ball, uncharacteristically changing for the better with a pleasant mild afternoon being appreciated by all, especially the regulars who have braved many a freezing Antarctic blast in past years.
​
As always, many stayed and enjoyed a wonderful social occasion into the wee small hours and made use of the courtesy van provided.

Here's to an exciting Spring with improved markets and climate well overdue!
