Hourn and Bishop Qld agent Brad Passfield agreed with vendor Ross McCamley, Lancefield Brahmans, that it was another great sale.
“It really was a great sale again this year, especially with the gross and average totals,” Mr Passfield said.
“We had a lot of commercial support from the Northern Territory, strong stud competition, and many return buyers.
“It’s good to see those stand-out sires in the current marketplace as well.
“It’s a fantastic result for the McCamley family, and we are ready to do it all again next year.”
Mr McCamley thanked Mr Passfield and the entire Hourn and Bishop QLD team for their support.
“The sale was a terrific success thanks to our agents, return buyers, and underbidders. We couldn’t have done it without you,” he said.
