Lorraine Pastoral Company, Cloncurry will make very good use of the ALC genetics under the esteemed management of Michael Crisp, having secured one of the top priced bulls on the day; Lot 62 (ALC 23-6453).  This rising two-year-old bull is in the top 10% for Central Production and Live Export $ Indexes and has two generations of two-year-old calving females with tight calving intervals on the maternal side.

The other top priced bull, Lot 45 (ALC 23-6259) sold to Luke Stevens of “Cremona”, Julia Creek.  This early puberty, PP homozygous bull, boasts exceptional figures with 4.0 for Scrotal Size EBV, -17.5 Days to Calving EBV, 49 for 600-day growth EBV, 81 for Central Production and 82 for Live Export $ Indexes.

Sale bulls will be transported to as far as Western Australia, Northern Territory, North and Central Queensland and south to Taroom.  All sale bulls were grass prepared and averaged in the top 5% for Central Production and Live Ex $ Indexes and in the top 10% for Scrotal Size EBV and Days-to-calving EBV. They also averaged in the top 20% for 600-day growth EBV.  Many of the bulls were polled or scurred and 45% of the sale bulls were out of two-year-old calving Dams.

The Helmsman sale onsite “Gundaroo” Nebo was interfaced with AuctionsPlus.  Videos of each lot were available along with comprehensive catalogued information based on performance and fertility traits.  All bulls were semen and morphology tested.  We were pleased with the result of the sale in this current market and it is rewarding to see cattleman value the extensive data we supply.

Positive feedback from one person on the day was how the phenotype just keeps getting better and better every year.  Another comment, was how remarkably well all the bulls handled the activity around them on the day, with people walking amongst the sale bulls to inspect them.
