Summary
The Greenup Eidsvold Station bull sale at Belvedere, near Eidsvold, achieved a complete clearance on September 17, 2026, with all 123 bulls selling to gross $1.686 million and average $13,707. The result improved on 2025, lifting the average 2.2 per cent from $13,408, increasing the gross 15.4 per cent from $1.461 million, and raising the clearance from 90 to 100 per cent. Sustained competition and a strong return of repeat clients underpinned the consistent outcome, with bulls dispersing across northern and southern Queensland from Meandarra and St George through to Cloncurry, Nebo and Clermont. Online activity through AuctionsPlus complemented a mix of commercial and stud buyers on the ground. The sale topper at $45,000 was a 24-month-old Eidsvold Station sire prospect weighing 805 kilograms that scanned a 126 square centimetre eye muscle area, 4.7 per cent intramuscular fat, rib and rump fat depths of 9mm and 14mm, and a 41-centimetre scrotal circumference. The day's largest buying account, a Julia Creek grazing operation with a three-generation association with the program, secured 13 bulls at an average of $19,000. Its run culminated with the final catalogued bull, which sparked renewed competition to finish at $40,000 for second-top honours; that 23-month-old weighed 840 kilograms and scanned a 120 square centimetre eye muscle area with 4.5 per cent intramuscular fat. Of the roughly 600 bulls the stud breeds, only the top 140 were catalogued, each having to prove itself in commercial conditions. An artificial insemination program conducted in 2025 is expected to influence the bulls offered next year, signalling emerging new bloodlines.
