The standout was Millah Murrah Wyatt W50, knocked down at lot four for a mammoth $420,000 to Gundungarra Angus of Robertson - a figure understood to be a national Angus breed record and believed to be a national all-breeds beef record.

Strong stud demand saw numerous lots sell between $24,000 and $64,000, while more than 150 registered bidders kept volume buyers competitive; several accounts secured four bulls each at averages between $24,500 and $36,500. The record bull will be used heavily in his new home, with some semen to be released to the wider industry.
