Looks like a good value bull. We bought a bull today here in victoria and the starting price was $8k this year and most sold for around 14k. Makes my eyes water.

Talking about watery eyes...how about $240k for an Australian White ram at Tattykeel sale at Oberon, NSW on Wednesday!

Hey Alistair over here in Queensland records have been smashed during the last month. A Droughtmaster Bull sold for $220,000 and then last week a Charolais Bull went for $265,000 crazy hey. Check out Telpara Hills stud who are just down the road from us. They have just had there annual stud sale. They breed Brangus and Ultrablacks. They broke Australian record for a Brangus Bull. A 30 month bull sold for $150,000

Great Rundown on the Bull sale, Bulls are an interesting challenge so expensive and limited life and coverage compared to rams! As always quality drives the price!, thanks for another great Video!

Thanks for another great video. Looks like a good bull that you got! Recently had 4 bulls (2×Hereford and 2×Tuli) dropped off here in South Africa... Same thing with good animals and low buyers happened here, probably due to a ban on livestock movement because of Foot and Mouth disease. Other than that things are quiet this side, wool stil worth about nothing but atleast it's selling, although slowly, now. Could use some rain as well, probably been about 5 or 6 months since our last good rains. Cheers!

Wow The foot and mouth must make things quite uncertain. Very much the same here re wool. Good luck with getting some rain.

Jee that's a really nice bull. Should have been 10k off that pedigree considering Rainmaker son earlier this year made 92k. Yearling Bulls in the north island where I am are getting expensive for the good ebv Bulls.

Really enjoy your videos as always. Could you homekill the lame bull to put the quality meat to good use?

@kiwifarmernz Жыл бұрын

Thanks, we could but it wouldn't be the best meat.

Wow three seasons and they fall apart?? Either you need tougher bulls or your hills are quite severe!

@kiwifarmernz Жыл бұрын

Mating on our hills can be quite hard on the bigger older bulls.

What do you do with your empty heifers do try to mate again or are they off to the works

@kiwifarmernz Жыл бұрын

We will keep them for a bit then off to the works or saleyards.

@andrewstreet4157 Жыл бұрын

Given most Angus bulls sales here in Australia would be reserved at $6k I think you get them cheap. I make this comment knowing nothing of what your end price is however

@kiwifarmernz Жыл бұрын

Our calves at weaning sell for around $850 so not as high as you guys.
