Quality Carabar bull sale

Darren Hegarty welcomes you to the second Carabar Angus bull sale at Blackall on Tuesday, 29 October at 10am.

In all, 55 “good quality“ February-March 2023 born bulls will be offered: 50 Angus bulls and five ultrablacks, with the sale to be held at Blackall Saleyards to suit western clients.

Mr Hegarty said the bulls were “at the top of their age group“, adding his focus was on breeding and producing quality Angus MSA-grade cattle for superior structural soundness, eye muscle, intramuscular fat (IMF), growth potential and temperament.

“I believe it’s the durability and longevity of Carabar bulls that really stand out to our clients,“ Mr Hegarty said.

Carabar specialises in Angus genetics, selecting only the finest bulls and females for its breeding program as they strive to produce top-quality Angus cattle that suit the Queensland environment and MSA standards.

“Carabar Angus has five major traits in our breeding program, with structural soundness, eye muscle area, intramuscular fat, growth potential and temperament,“ Mr Hegarty said.

“Commercial cattle producers come back for these traits in our bulls.“

Mr Hegarty said the Carabar sale had held its appeal due to the durability of the bulls offered, in combination with true value for money buying opportunities.

All bulls have had injections of 7 in 1, 3 Day, Pestiguard, Vibrovax, Long Range, 3 Germ Blood and have tested negative for Pestivirus.

All bulls have been examined, semen tested and morphology tested.

They can be viewed at Blackall Saleyards from Friday, 25 October, by appointment at Carabar, Meandarra, at www.carabarangus.com or the Carabar Angus Facebook page.

A video of each bull, as well as photos are on AuctionsPlus.

To inspect the draft pre-sale day, please call Mr Hegarty on 0428 748 542, (07) 4665 6164 to make an appointment.
