The old saying that ‘mud brings money’ turned out to be true at Saturday’s Bunya Droughtmaster Bull Sale.
In all, 81 bulls were put up for auction at the Coolabunia Saleyards, with most selling for an average of $11,025.
However, two bulls achieved the day’s top price of $20,000.
The first of these was Lot 4 – Nindethana Melvin – a 22-month-old weighing in at 776kg which was offered by Nindethana Pastoral from Camp Mountain.
The second was Lot 42 – By-Mingo Uric – another 22-month-old weighing 740kg which was put up for bids by By-Mingo Droughtmaster Stud from Coalstoun Lakes.
Despite heavy rain the day before the sale and wet conditions on Saturday, the grandstands at the Saleyards were packed with buyers and vendors.
The sale was conducted by Aussie Land & Livestock and GDL, with Elite Livestock Auctions streaming the event online.
Auctioneering duties were shared by Corey Evans (AL&L) and Mark Duthie (GDL).
