Highly consistent lineup for the 25th anniversary Gold City Brahman Sale

While the Gold City Brahman Sale has moved off its usual Friday occurrence, buyers can expect the same high level of consistency in the bulls to be offered at this year's sale on Monday, November 3, from 9am at the Dalrymple Saleyards, Charters Towers.

For the 25^thGold City sale, 91 bulls have been catalogued by 22 well-regarded vendors across Queensland. On the day, 45 grey bulls will have their time in the ring, followed by 46 red bulls. In all, 60 per cent of the draft is polled.

ABBA general manager Marsha Keily said an excellent selection of polled and horned bulls from returning and first-time Gold City vendors would be offered at this year's sale. Vendors making their debut at Gold City this year include: Brooke Robke, Mirani, Glen and Tanya Oppermann, Binjour, and D A Coleman, Cedar Pocket.

"Gold City has a good offering of bulls from well-renowned studs, offering great value for money that will suit our Gold City buyers," Ms Keily said.

These buyers make the trip to Gold City from a geographic spread covering Cape York, Hughenden, Georgetown, Giru, Collinsville, Proserpine and throughout Central Queensland.

At last year's sale, 86 of 122 bulls were purchased for a 70pc clearance rate and an average of $5593. The top price of $24,000 was paid for Doonside 2869 from the Geddes family, Rockhampton, to the Mortimer family of Token and Cadet Brahmans, Rockhampton.

"The 2024 result was a stronger result than the previous year in a tougher season."

All bulls selected for this year's sale will be penned for inspection from 2pm Sunday.

Those who're unable to make the trip to Charters Towers on the day can bid online from home through AuctionsPlus.
