With the current lull in the cattle market down under, everyone was pretty cautious heading in to the National Poll Hereford Show and Sale at Dubbo earlier this week.
But thanks to some big station orders, and top quality bulls, the sale exceeded expectations and in fact, broke the top price record.
Days Whiteface from Bordertown, SA, sold their senior and grand champion bull Days Calibre G74 for $90,000... surpassing the $85,000 record made by another Day family bred bull, Allendale National W168, in 2003.
All up, 124 from 142 Pollie bulls sold to average $7061. In the breakdown, 59 from 69 junior bulls averaged $5119 and 65 from 73 bulls averaged $8823.
