Bull sale success
HAZELDEAN’S spring bull sale has been declared a success by buyers and agents following the Angus stud achieving a full clearance and selling to atop of $30,000. On September 7, buyers from across the country attended the Litchfield family’s Hazledean property where 124 bulls were presented. Despite the prevailing market conditions, all 124 bulls were sold at an average of $13,161. Nutrien Ag stud stock agent Tim
Woodham said the sale was a terrific result for Hazeldean, and demonstrated the quality of the bulls offered. “This was an exceptionally good sale. I think it went better than expected,” Mr Woodham said. “Considering the current conditions, to achieve full clearance is a great result. “The sale shows the consistency of the bulls Hazeldean produces and the support they have from buyers.
Two bulls sold for $30,000 with lot 18 purchased by the Cleveland Pastoral Company of Tasmania and Lot 19 bought by the Masteron Pastoral Company of Goulburn Kim Dyson, buyer of lot 19, said he was again pleased to secure the top priced Hazeldean bull. “Hazeldean produces quality bulls. They’re good stylish bulls with good fertility,” Mr Dyson said. “I’m particularly impressed with their ease of calving. We
calved 161 heifers and each one was unassisted.” Ed Bradley, marketing and sales manager at Hazeldean, said the stud is appreciative of the support from regular buyers and the interest shown from new buyers. “The sale was really strong. We are flattered by the support,” Mr Bradley said. “The support from our longterm clients shows they consider our bulls to be of the highest quality and that we offer a quality product.”
