Quarterway’s $15,000 top-priced bull ‘ticked all the boxes’ for buyer
A northern Tasmanian Angus stud has cleared more than three-quarters of its annual sale offering, defying the odds after three bad seasons.
Quarterway Angus stud, Scottsdale, Tas, sold 41 of the 53 bulls it offered for an average of $7341.
Quarterway stud principal Trevor Hall said the sale had “been tough enough”.
“In this area, we are in our third dry season,” Mr Hall said.
On the brink of a beef boom
Producers should capitalise now on Australia’s burgeoning beef sector as global demand supports the domestic market and improved seasonal conditions are all that’s needed to see further growth in the cattle trade, according to Quarterway Angus principal Trevor Hall.
Despite another dry summer at the Tasmania stud, the third in a row, Trevor believes genetic gains made now will be strongly rewarded.
“Cattle prices are really good, but mother nature needs to give us a tailwind to capitalise,” he said.
