Summary
The 2026 Lawsons Angus Sale delivered a complete result at the Roma Saleyards in Queensland, where the Victoria-based stud offered 112 bulls and achieved a 100 per cent clearance. The catalogue averaged $7991 and the sale grossed $895,000, with strong bidding evident from the opening lot. Lot one claimed the top price of $28,000, a 23-month-old Angus bull weighing 878 kilograms with a 41-centimetre scrotal measurement and a ranking in the top 15 per cent of the breed for the Heavy Gain Index. He was sired by a Veracious bloodline and destined to work over black females in a large-scale feeder operation targeting the heavy feeder market. The top buyer, a family enterprise running between 6500 and 7000 head across roughly 32,375 hectares, secured 11 bulls in total for an average of $12,455, reflecting a long history of repeat purchasing built on bull hardiness, longevity and temperament. A bulk buyer took 12 bulls at an average of $6167, while 25 lots sold through the online platform for an average of $6200, drawing bidders from the Northern Territory and New South Wales. With the stud having marketed Angus genetics in Queensland for more than three decades, the result underlined growing demand for Angus content in northern herds, where the breed is valued for meat quality, feedlot performance and grass conversion within crossbreeding programs.
