Naracoorte Shorthorn Bull Show and Sale **Pictures added**

[Anonymous]

Offered 39, sold 38 (only a white bull passed, and would have sold had he been red)

Top of $14,000 for the Grand Champion, Bayview Ignition

Average $5,066



I was associate judge and both the judge and I were pleased to see that we got it all pretty right, all the champions and reserves made money, as well as some very deserving class winners and placegetters.
Overall a great show and sale, only our second best average ever and a fantastic clearance. Also given the season... it couldn't be better!!

As far as the South Aussie sales went this season, Shorthorns were second in the averages, only behind the Woonallee-Waterfront Simmental Sale, which was an absolute cracker.

I remember you saying you were nervous about judging, but looks like you didn't have a reason to be!

Wow compared to sales round here that was a ripper!

The best sale around here has been the MG national and that only had a clearance of around 60% and top of $7000.

Good on ya Carla

Coyote, I'm trying to chase some up. I think I may need to go to the newspaper to get them. I'll see what I can do!
