Elite Braford Breeders Sale Report Gayndah
Femininity, Fertility and Braford Futurity was the mission of the day
Peter Dingle from Mount Perry officially declared the 2nd Elite Braford Breeders Sale Day open. Once again it was a fabulous day in many ways: Great community promotion for Gayndah to host a cattle sale with cattle bidding from as far away as the Emerald, Rockhampton, Warwick and Casino NSW.
“This year’s sale results were better than last years with an increase in average price per head and the overall quality of the line-up of PTIC, registered and commercial heifers was very good. This is what every beef seed stock producer strives for and this was reflected by a $2,250 increase in the top price from last year and an overall increase in heifer sale average price by $703. The top priced registered and commercial heifers were sold by Harriett Valley Brafords, Russell, Donna, Bec, Jeff and Dan Kenny from Gayndah. The top priced registered Heifer, Harriett Valley Victoria (p) sold for $8,000 to Jason Phillips Toowoomba. The top priced Commercial heifer, Harriett Valley 83 (p) sold for $7,000 to Larry and Beth Acton, Riverton Gracemere.
“It is always wonderful to see so many of the next generation little cattle kids at the sale too. They are our future for sustainable agricultural and forestry production. On that note I would like to thank Agforce QLD for sponsoring a fabulous morning tea provided by Down Right Delicious Catering and for the Gayndah State School for cooking up a great BBQ lunch for all the vendors. The whole community benefits from events like this.”
