Show all articles
In contrast to the ultra-hot, droughty sale day in 09, the Duarran sale 2010 was held on a perfect spring day with green grass everywhere. Bulls went to McKinlay in the north, Nebo and Kenilworth towards the coast and St George in the south. A good number of bulls went locally.
A spirited sale saw a total clearance of all breeds (80 bulls - Red & BLack Brangus, Red Angus, Red Brahman and Bonsmara ), with many return buyers and a sprinkling of new.
Brisbane Junior Champion Brangus bull Duarran Eddie by Doonside Eddie made top price of $13,000 and was purchased by Gavin McKenzie for his Tannyfoil Stud. He weighrd 904 kgs at 21months with an EMA of 129 sq cms.
The 43 Red Brangus Bulls averaged $4500. The volume buyer of the day was Andromeda Cattle Co who purchased seven bulls for a $5287 average, Other bulk buyers were Strathfiled Past Co from McKinlay who took 6 for a $4000 average, Revilo Pastoral 6 to average $ 3833 and the Pedersen Family who selected 5 for $4800 average.
The 22 Red Angus bulls sold to average $4000 with the top price of $12,000 being paid by the Gilmore family of Kenilworth for a son of Leader Toll Collector.
Eight Black Brangus sold to a top of $5500 to average just under $4000, with over half of them being locally purchased, 3 of them by the Lister family.
Two Red Brahman averaged $4500
For the first time at auction we offered 5 Bonsmara Bulls - they sold to a top of $7500 and averaged $4800. The top price bull was a 968 kg son of Op-Die -Aarde VV01-233 who had an EMA of 137sq cm, and was purchased by Watonga Grazing

Diana & Julie - Very imporant people - the sandwich makers for the 'after sale' - and who are the best helpers behind the scenes !!!
Two more very important people - Blake - auctioneer and Elders agent extraordinaire, and Sandy who is in charge of after sales drinks. Great thanks to them all !!!!
