Casa Toro Simmentals clears all 60 bulls at Roma for a $15,600 average and a $936,000 gross
Summary
Casa Toro Simmentals, of Glengyle, Dulacca, delivered a standout result at the Roma Saleyards on Friday, September 11, clearing all 60 bulls offered for a 100 per cent clearance, a $15,600 average, a $32,000 top and an overall gross of $936,000. The outcome came off the back of a challenging year for the stud family and exceeded expectations, with a larger catalogue and a wider price spread designed to cater for budget-conscious buyers who had missed out previously. The result built strongly on the 2025 sale, when 50 bulls sold for a 100 per cent clearance, a $14,900 average, a $32,000 top and a $745,000 gross. Three bulls shared the $32,000 top price. The first, a 24-month-old weighing 996 kilograms, recorded 11 millimetres of rump fat, 7 millimetres of rib fat, a 146 square centimetre eye muscle area and 5.3 per cent intramuscular fat, selling through an online platform to a Clermont buyer. A second top bull, a 23-month-old at 940 kilograms, sold to a Collinsville station bidding by phone, while the third, also 23 months and 951 kilograms, went to a Wallumbilla operation running a 120 to 130-head Simbrah breeder herd across 1335 hectares. That buyer, favouring red-type Simmentals to keep an even colour line, added a further bull for $26,000. The volume buyer of the sale, a Mitchell operation, secured seven bulls to average $13,429. Consistent carcase figures, red genetics and strong repeat support underpinned an emotional but highly successful day for the Simmental stud.
