WELCOME TO THE AUSTRALIAN BRAFORD SOCIETY

Australian Braford cattle were developed by cattlemen and women who faced many challenges to their livelihoods. Only major changes to traditional beliefs and practices would guarantee their long-term survival. With continual drought and cattle ticks affecting the industry at that time, the answer was to breed cattle that could cope better with both. Necessity provided the motivation, while initiative and perseverance ultimately produced the solution. Against a lot of opposition, the birth of the Braford Breed came about over 50 years ago.

Here is another reason why Brafords truly are better!
Thanks to the team at GDL Rural, these are their breed sale averages for bulls.
Brafords again rank high with the 4th highest average price and considering that the top price was $50,000 this is a very good overall average.
We are on a good thing, and we should all be proud of the breed.
If you would like to get involved in Brafords, and become a member, please get in touch today.

I saw a Beefmaster sell for 100k just the other day here in Texas

I believe they are exhibiting Australian prices...not US sales.

Daniel Jameson as I was saying the other day about expensive bulls 😬😬

Great results.
