AFFORDABLE QUALITY AT WAITARA
Waitara acheived a solid result on Friday 12th August, selling 39 bulls from 39 offered. Lot 5, a sensational 458N son, topped the sale at $10 500 going to local beef breeder Mark Gale, Trangie. The sale averaged a solid $5019, with many quality bulls in the very affordable $4500 and below price range. Just under 80% of bulls went to repeat buyers- a very pleasing result. Commercial females acheived good prices, with the winning bidders very happy with their purchase.

A WIN AT DUBBO SHOW ANGUS FEATURE
At a hotly contested Angus Feature show in Dubbo in May, Waitara won Supreme Female with four year old Waitara A2 Veronica C109. This stylish cow is by Ardrossan Admiral A2, and was shown with an October drop bull calf at foot. C109 and her calf also won Supreme Female at Nyngan Show the week before.
Both will be heading to Melbourne Show in September for the RASV Angus Feature.
YOU DON'T SEE A BULL LIKE THIS EVERY DAY
We are excited to introduce our new stud sire Ireland's Enviro E71, purchased for $20 000 at Sydney Royal Easter Show. He is by the outcross sire O'Neills Royal Edge by O'Neills Expedition. His dam has averaged $9000 for her previous three sons, and traces back to the famous Merrigrange Vicky H43. Enviro is a deep sided, powerful and athletic young bull. In our opinion he was clearly a standout bull in the shed before judging even began.
Enviro weighed in at 882kg with an eye muscle of 125cm at 18 months. His outstanding phenotype, outcross pedigree combined with a very balanced set of EBVs made him ideal for our program. We will be using him for natural joinings as well as AI. Irelands have retained a semen share and have already used the bull. Limited semen packages are available. Contact us for details.
