Consistency the key

Welcome to the 2025 All Polled Ascot Spring bull sale at 12pm, Friday 19 September.

A special thank you to all our previous buyers and underbidders, many of whom have been supporting us for more than 10 years.

This year’s sale will, as usual, be a live auction on property at Warwick, as well as interfaced with Auctions Plus with live video and audio.

Alongside photos, we will have a video of every bull and heifer in the sale on our website and the Auctions Plus website.

Phone bidding via agents will also be available, with a five per cent commission to be paid to any outside agent who sends a letter of introduction at least 24 hours before the sale or who attends the sale.

Please contact your preferred agent before the sale to arrange.

The consistency within our draft of sale bulls is what most impresses everyone that has inspected both breeds of sale bulls this year. This pleases us. We feel if you have consistency then this breeds on for us and for our buyers.

It is not easy to achieve consistency but our years of hard selection in both breeds within our females is starting to take effect.

Our sale bulls display the balance we are breeding for with docility, structural correctness, good weight for age, MSA-focussed carcass traits, fertility and polledness.

All bulls and heifers are born and raised on-property in Queensland and suitable to go anywhere, including WA. All bulls have spent their lives on crop and pasture and now on a mild sale prep.

There are many heifer bulls in the sale in both breeds and marked accordingly in the catalogue.

Stud heifers

A real feature of this sale is that we are very proud to present the best and largest line up of stud registered heifers we have ever put up for sale. All are polled. The 66 heifers are from the heart of the herd and only sold to keep our numbers to a serviceable level. Unlike many stud female sales these females are by the latest genetics available allowing buyers to get in on the ground floor to some of these new blood lines.

Sale also includes ET calves by two of our leading Milllah Murrah donor cows.
