Trying dry conditions did little to deter valued return buyers at today’s Dangarfield Santa Gertrudis sale held at the Adams family’s Kingswood, Taroom, property.
A quality line-up of 82 registered and herd bulls attracted spirited bidding, with a record breaking top price of $72,500 for lot six, Dangarfield Anzac, bought by Greg Kroll, Oakdale Santa Gertrudis, Chinchilla.
The sale grossed $613,500 with an average sale price of $8,521 for an 88 per cent clearance under the hammer.
A total of 45 registered ‘S’ bulls grossed $432,000, selling for an average of $9,600 to clear 98 per cent.
Dangarfield sold 27 herd bulls to gross $18,500 with a $6,722 average and a 75 per cent clearance.
Ben and Amanda Adams were thrilled to see return buyers filling the stand as well as a good portion of new buyers, with a large portion of sires selling back into the renowned Taroom beef grazing district.
