Myanga Angus marks 25th spring bull sale with a 92 per cent clearance, $8230 average and $17,000 top at Chatsbury
Summary
The 25th anniversary Myanga Angus spring bull sale, held on-property at Moondance in Chatsbury on August 6, produced a strengthened result driven by strong support from repeat and first-time buyers. For the quarter-century milestone, the vendors offered 36 bulls and sold 33 for a 92 per cent clearance, averaging $8230 and topping at $17,000. Those figures compared favourably with the 2025 sale, when 75 per cent of 40 bulls were cleared at an average of $7366 and a top of $15,000. Yearling bulls attracted particularly keen interest, representing the next generation of the stud's genetic progression, while sons of a well-regarded all-rounder sire and bulls from an established dam line were well supported. The $17,000 top-price bull, offered as lot 7, was secured by a long-term client and stood out for its structure, depth and width of body, and balanced set of EBVs. That buyer produces purebred commercial Angus aimed at feedlot entry at 480 to 520 kilograms and typically runs 10 to 15 stud bulls at a time. Although there was bidding support from Queensland and Victoria, all catalogued bulls ultimately stayed within New South Wales, with the majority purchased by existing clients alongside several new buyers. Volume support came from a family taking five bulls to average $7600, another securing four at an $8000 average, and a third buying three to average $7333. The sale was conducted by Nutrien Ag Solutions and Elders, with AuctionsPlus providing the online interface for the milestone auction.
