Quarterway achieves near-total clearance of spring bulls amid dry winter

Quarterway Angus stud, Waterhouse, Tas, achieved a near-total clearance of bulls at its annual spring bull sale on Thursday, with 41 out of 43 bulls sold.

Cattle market ready to fire

Confidence in the beef and cattle industry is the best Trevor Hall has seen it in a number of years; just add water.

The Quarterway Angus principal, like many producers in southern Australia, is still in the midst of his second consecutive failed season but has high hopes for the market if spring brings plenty of rain.

Best-selling Quarterway bull goes from the top to the bottom of Tasmania

The highest-priced Angus bull from a stud at the top of Tasmania has gone to a buyer in the southernmost part of the state.

Quarterway Angus, Scottsdale North, achieved a near-total clearance of its bulls despite experiencing two years of dry seasonal conditions. Quarterway sold 49 of the 54 bulls it offered at auction, clearing the remainder after the sale finished.

Doing- ability a must at Quarterway

The silver lining for Quarterway Angus in the state’s northeast has been seeing how their bulls – and the cattle they’ve bred – perform despite the continuing seasonal extremes in Tasmania this year.

“After a tough winter the 60 March sale bulls we are putting up have come along very well and are doing everything they are meant to be,” Trevor said.

“It is proof of the doability in the genetics lines – we had the worst year on record last year, and our bulls still held their condition and keep powering ahead.”
