With plenty of Red Angus-cross cattle making a strong impact in steer and heifer competitions, now might be the right time to make the move and introduce some Red Angus genetics to your beef herd.
Renowned worldwide for calving ease, maternal excellence and carcase qualities, a great selection of bulls, females and genetics will once again be on offer at the Power of Red XI sale at the Toowoomba Showgrounds Equestrian Arena on Saturday, 6 September, commencing at 11am.
Twenty three bulls, seven females and eight genetic lots will be on offer from nine different vendors in Queensland and NSW, providing buyers with a great range of options to choose from.
David and Ashleigh Hobbs, Round-Em-Up Red Angus, Molong, NSW opens the batting in this year’s sale with a BJR Make My Day bull. He is the first of eight bulls in this year’s sale from David and Ashleigh. Their other lots include a solid run of seven bulls, comprising Lots 17 – 23.
Coming in at the loss of the first wicket is the Boonyouin Reds team from Maryanne Kearney, Kingaroy QLD. Maryanne this year presents a strong line-up of five bulls, starting off with Lots 2 – 5, then a younger lot comes up later in the sale at 13. Yet again this draft of bulls will be sought after if previous sales are any indication.
Next up will be a group of three bulls offered by Heather Davies, Rosemullion Red Angus, Goomburra, QLD. Heather has Lots 6, 7 and 8 entered for this year’s sale and no doubt they will again be in strong demand.
Peter and Trina Redgwell, Heartland Red Angus, Tamworth NSW will be next to face the bowling with Lots 9 and 10. First-time vendors at POR X, it’s great to see Peter and Trina back with us again this year.
Kirrily Johnson-Iseppi and family, GK Livestock, Dalby QLD will be presenting only one bull this year in Lot 11, but what a run-scorer he will be for the purchaser of this lot. By Red Wheel Stark out of an Assassin daughter, he is sure to garner a lot of attention.
Lot 12 in this year’s sale is presented by Alan and Lucie Brown, Keen Edge Red Angus, Pittsworth, QLD. Alan and Lucie’s bulls have met with strong buyer demand in previous years, so it wouldn’t surprise if this young bull again does the job for Alan and Lucie.
Rounding out the sale will be bulls presented by two of our junior members. First up will be Lots 14 and 15 presented by Amelie Martin, AKM Red Angus, Stony Creek QLD.
Rounding out the batting order and our final bull vendor for POR X1 will be Lot 16, presented by Lachie Moore, Moorevale Red Angus, Langley Vale NSW. Lachie was part of the 4 person team representing Australian Red Angus at the recent World Angus Forum.
Following on from the bulls will be seven heifer lots
First of the heifers will be Lot 24 from Alan and Lucie Brown, Keen Edge, Pittsworth QLD. Following on will be three heifers, Lots 25, 26 and 27 from Linda and Phil Matthews’ Pledge Red Angus, Kingaroy QLD. In a nice twist of fate, all three Pledge heifers are sired by a graduate of our sale in Greenwood Park Simba S22. Rounding out the heifer portion of the sale will be Lots 28, 29 and 30, presented by David and Ashleigh Hobbs, Molong NSW.
After the completion of the live lots there will be one embryo package (GK Livestock) and seven semen packages presented by GK Livestock, Heartland Red Angus and Round-Em-Up Red Angus.
Selling agent for the sale will be Nutrien Livestock, Toowoomba. The live lots will be available for inspection at the Toowoomba Showground’s Equestrian Arena on Friday afternoon 5 September and the following morning prior to the start of the sale.
Lots will be auctioned from screens at the sale, with animal welfare considerations from the vendors doing away with running the animals through a sale ring. The sale will run on Stocklive, so buyers can choose to bid in person at the showgrounds, through a Nutrien agent or online.
In closing I would like to acknowledge our major sponsors for this year’s sale in Stag Machinery and Farmer’s Breeding Supplies.
These sponsors help get this product to you, so if you could help us out by supporting them, the sale vendors would be grateful.
