Strong interest in All Breeds

The February All Breeds Sale, to be held on 9-10 February at CQLX Gracemere, is set to attract strong interest from commercial and stud cattle producers across Central Queensland and beyond.

A total of 478 lots will be offered over the two-day event, representing 15 breeds and their composites, and showcasing a diverse selection of bulls and females suited to a wide range of production systems.

Numbers are down this year for both bulls and females which saw 661 lots catalogued for 2025, a factor that is expected to influence competition and pricing and help set the tone for the upcoming breeding season.

Despite the reduced catalogue, the sale remains a key annual fixture on the Central Queensland cattle calendar, providing buyers with access to proven and performance-focused genetics from leading breeders. The offering reflects the continued demand for cattle that are adaptable to local conditions, with an emphasis on fertility, temperament, growth, and resilience.

The sale will commence at 8am on Monday, 9 February, with Nutrien and Elders acting as auctioneers, supported by StockLive for online bidding. Day one will open with a strong Brahman offering, including 96 Brahman bulls and 23 Brahman females, covering both red and grey lines. This will be followed by a cross-section of breeds, including two Senepol bulls, two Shorthorn bulls, two Speckle Park bulls and two Speckle Park females, one Gelbvieh bull, two Gelbvieh Cross bulls, and one SimAngus bull.

Further into the day, buyers will see 16 Angus bulls, 54 Simmental bulls, three Simmaster bulls, 12 Simbrah bulls, one Queenslander bull, two Braford bulls, and eight Santa Gertrudis bulls. The female offering will include 11 Droughtmaster females, before day one concludes with 70 Droughtmaster bulls, commencing at Lot 24.

The second and final day of the sale will begin at 8am on Tuesday, 10 February, and will feature six Brangus females, followed by a substantial run of 96 Brangus bulls. The offering will continue with 43 Charbray bulls, before the final breed to enter the ring, 28 Charolais bulls, brings the 2026 February All Breeds Sale to a close.

The entire sale will be simulcast online through StockLive, providing buyers with the opportunity to view and bid in real time from anywhere in Australia. This technology continues to remove geographical barriers, broaden the buyer base, increase market competition, and deliver greater exposure for vendors, while maintaining the efficiency and transparency of a traditional saleyard auction.
