Strong demand from buyers across Queensland drove Elrose Stud’s Grey Brahman Breeder Production Sale to a $1.9 million gross, with more than 90 per cent of the offering sold and proven sires topping at $34,000.
A combination of Sale attendees and others who logged on to bid online accounted for over 90% of the huge offering of quality Grey Brahman breeders and a $1.9M gross at the Elrose Stud Breeder Production Sale at CQLX last Friday and Saturday.
Sale Lots went to buyers across Queensland from the Atherton Tablelands in the North to Beaudesert and the Darling Downs in the South. Buyers recognised the valuable genetic opportunity available to them with good, strong, consistent bidding throughout the large cow & calf section over two days. This well presented 302 Lot section sold to a Top Price of $18,000, clearing 96% under the hammer, at an average of $5,245.
64 of the Sale’s Unjoined Heifers will head to new owners. They topped at $10,000 and averaged $3,367 while the Proven Sire offering averaged $8,600 and topped at $34,000.
