Best bulls in the Burnett

The 12th annual Bunya bull sale will be held on Saturday, 6 September at the Coolabunia Selling Complex, Kingaroy.

In all, 74 Droughtmaster bulls from 26 vendors have been catalogued with the sale starting at 11am.

Pre-sale inspections from 3pm Friday, 5 September.

All bulls are vaccinated with a minimum of 5- or 7-in-1, 3 germ blood and three-day sickness. Registered bulls will be offered with DNA Sire Verification, Horn/Poll and Pompes testing.

This year will see 100 per cent of the catalogued bulls being polled or homozygous polled (PP).

They will be weighed, mouthed and scanned and carry a minimum semen motility of 60pc.

The catalogue will see more bulls than ever offered with breedplan figures and morphology results (90pc of the 2024 offering was morphology tested).

Bulls are pre-treated for ticks and pre-scratched, allowing immediate delivery to clean country.

The sale offers “free freight” on all bulls to six major saleyards, including Gympie, Biggenden, Eidsvold, Dalby, Toogoolawah and Beaudesert.

Stocklive will be operating for those unable to attend in person.

The 2025 Droughtmaster Feature Show held at Toowoomba Royal Show was dominated by Bunya Bull Sale vendors and clients.

Both in stud and commercial classes including feedlot and carcase competitions.

In all, 80 class ribbons were offered in stud classes. Bunya vendors and clients walked away with an impressive 45 of those, culminating in 11 of the 17 champion ribbons awarded to Bunya vendors.

This highlights the calibre of industry-relevant young sires that are available at the Bunya Sale.

Real world comparisons against breed and industry-leading operations make the Bunya Sale an obvious choice with buyers able to compete on a large and diverse offering of new and proven genetics.

Chasing a bull to breed anything from vealers to bullocks or a new stud sire? Then you should plan to attend this “value for money” sale, offering the best bulls in the Burnett.
