Bimbadeen Brangus' 10th sale grosses $389,000 as a 797kg homozygous poll bull tops the auction
Summary
Bimbadeen Brangus held its 10th on-property sale at the vendors' Jindalee property, just north of Jambin, Queensland, on Monday, September 21, 2026, with a repeat buyer again securing the sale-topping bull. The top-priced bull, Bimbadeen Windsor W018, was a 23-month-old homozygous poll sire that tipped the scales at 797 kilograms. It carried P8 and rib fat of 12 and 7 millimetres respectively, a 126 square centimetre eye muscle area, a 5.3 per cent intramuscular fat reading and a 38-centimetre scrotal measurement. Its Breedplan estimated breeding values placed it in the breed's top 15 per cent for eye muscle area and retail beef yield, and the bull carried 56 per cent Brahman content, with the buyer emphasising temperament and figures over bloodline. Across the sale, 45 of 58 bulls sold under the hammer for a 78 per cent clearance, a gross of $389,000 and an average of $8645, while another two bulls sold afterwards for $6000 each. Repeat support came from as far away as the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria and west to Augathella, with many buyers bidding online. The stud, founded in 1961, drew a largely commercial buyer base focused on fertility and longevity, with several returning clients not needing bulls this year because earlier purchases were performing well. An online buyer from Mount Garnet secured seven bulls for an average of $6125. The bulls were prepared without lot feeding despite three to four months without rain. Selling agents were Kellco Rural Agencies and AuctionsPlus.
