A bull with all the top traits sold for a top of $23,000 at the 16th annual Moogenilla Angus Bull Sale.
Queensland buyer Melody Rynne purchased the top priced bull, a Quinella son, Lot 10 Moogenilla U104, after lively bidding action at the Central West Livestock Exchange on Friday, 1 August.
He ranked in the top one per cent of the breed for all indexes plus top six per cent of breed 600 day weight. The Moogenilla Angus Sale Catalogue said “suits the whole herd including heifers. Calving ease and explosive growth. Positive fats too. Used as a yearling.”
