What an outstanding Sale the Shorthorn Breed experienced this year at the Naracoorte Sale. With nearly 100% clearance and a record breaking Sale average of $11,645 we were very pleased with our line up of bulls offered.
Bayview had the Sale Record Top Price of $29,000 and an average of just under $17,000 for the team of 15 bulls. We were very pleased with how the bulls presented and how the Sale went for all vendors as a whole.
We are very grateful for the support of all buyers and underbidders.
With the Naracoorte Sale having moved to the Pathfinder Complex in 2015 to become an Unled Sale it has allowed us to run all our bulls as one contemporary group and only separate the bulls we offer for sale in the last few weeks leading up to the Sale. It gave us a bit better picture as to how they run as a group as we would normally be breaking them in a few months before but in reality they are a fairly even line throughout.
The muscle content and fat cover on the bulls are always good when we scan them in October/November which we think is indicative of our breeding program.
The Shorthorn breed is gaining back momentum and with the release of a Branded Product, Thousand Guineas, and the interest in Shorthorn genetics by processors it is an opportune time to put these types into your breeding program.
