2026 BULL SALE DAY HIGHLIGHTS

Now that the dust has settled on our 2026 Bull Sale, the result is only just starting to sink in.

Yes, record breakers create plenty of excitement, but honestly, what gives us the greatest pride is the quality and consistency of the cattle we presented, and the feedback from so many people who took the time to tell us just that.

2026 Sale Highlights

• 100/100 Bulls Sold
• Average $23,750
• Top Price $168,000 – New Zealand Record (at least for 7 days 😂)
• Highest Grossing Bull Sale in NZ History
• 13 Stud Bulls Sold - the most in one sale nationwide

This was the first time we'd ever catalogued 100 bulls. To sell every one of them, and with such consistence prices, is a reflection of the confidence so many loyal clients continue to place in our programme, year after year. Seeing familiar faces return each year, alongside welcoming new clients to Taimate, is something we never take for granted. Thank you for putting your trust in us.

Sale day is the culmination of years of work, and it's also the beginning of the next chapter. It's now back to our knitting, producing next year what you've come to expect from Taimate.

That commitment has never been stronger.

Thank you to our clients, our extended family, the awesome Taimate team, our friends and our wider community. Your support truly means the world.

Big shout out to Stucam Productions for this highlight reel ...
