[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1070415, member: 16453"] Yeh Jilleroo, I went to Ascot just watched the Angus go through and had a steak burger and some cakes and drink. I saw your hay in the paddock thought they were Charolais cows lying down in the distant. Only half of paddock was cut and baled . I guess the logistics of the sale put things on hold. They sold a Dunoon Evident bull for $30000 but southern buyers were there especially for it. It was on one of the expensive Millah Murrah cows they bought early in the year and I think being free of the DD genetic defect of which the sire is a carrier attracted the attention as a possible AI replacement of that bull. Most of the bulls from the Millah Murrah cows sold around the 5-6000 mark. Most of their own bulls sold around the 3-4000 mark and about 5 passed in. Certainly the Millah Murrah bulls saved them and also bearing in mind there were only 30 Angus bulls catalogued, 1 scratching. It is a nice place, a lot of money gone into it, beautifully gravelled and graded roads. They seem to have an unlimited budget on advertising and self promotion through buying at these top sales, though most of their own cows seem to be foundation APR with no previous pedigree recorded and now they are scrambling to buy well thought of cows from these top sales. Certainly no money is being spared. They also seem to have friends in high places with the Qld Ag minister turning up to officially open the sale and the mayor of Southern Downs sitting in the wings. I wonder on this precedence if Barnaby Joyce will come roll up and open our sale next July. Shame about that heifer Jilleroo sounds like just carrying one too many calves. It threatened to rain tonight with thunder and lightning but not enough to wet my front steps so will be no need to check rain guage in the morning so it at least saves me a job. Jilleroo, should be no issue with their roads , turn off the main road is good and internal roads superb, maybe problem getting them turned around inside but once the sale and catering marquees are pulled down I would think plenty of room, anyhow only half of it is cut so far. ken [/QUOTE]
