Woolooga offers depth

On Saturday, 16 August, 2025, the rural heartbeat of the Gympie region will again pulse strongly as the second annual Woolooga Droughtmaster Bull and Female sale returns to the Woolooga saleyards.

Offering 55 registered droughtmaster bulls and 20 registered females, with quality lines of vendor-bred commercial heifers to follow the registered cattle.

This highly anticipated event is fast becoming a cornerstone in Queensland’s cattle calendar, showcasing the resilience, innovation and community spirit that defines our beef industry.

Following the success of last year’s inaugural sale, this year’s offering promises even greater depth in quality and pedigree.

Vendors from across the Wide Bay-Burnett and beyond are bringing forward a draft of Droughtmaster bulls and females bred for performance, adaptability and fertility — traits essential for northern Australia’s diverse and often challenging environments.

All bulls have been semen-tested and vaccinated for 3 day and 3 germ blood. Buyers and spectators alike can expect not only top-tier cattle but also a strong sense of camaraderie and connection — a hallmark of rural Queensland.

As markets remain buoyed by sustained demand for quality beef and breeders continue to invest in future-focused genetics, the Woolooga Droughtmaster sale arrives at a time of opportunity and optimism.

Whether you’re a seasoned stud breeder, a commercial grazier or a newcomer to the industry, this sale offers something of value —both in the paddock and in the partnerships it fosters.

We tip our hats to the vendors, agents and organisers who make this event possible and we look forward to seeing the Woolooga Droughtmaster Bull and female sale once again thrive as the region gathers to celebrate excellence in Droughtmaster breeding.
