Barana Simmentals 2010 Sale Report

Barana Simmentals 10th Anniversary Sale achieved a satisfying result with 51 of the 52 Simmental bulls offered selling to a top of $9,000 with an average of $4,985. The 10 Simmental heifers sold to $2,250 with an average of $1,625 and 12 commercial Simmental heifers sold to $1,400 with an average of $1,316. The 10 black Simmentals sold to average $6,350.

Pre & post sale enquiry was positive with buyers looking to secure Simmental bulls due to the contribution they make to their commercial operation. The sale outcome and comments on the day indicate strong interest in Barana Simmentals with the first offering of the Barana black Simmentals achieving an excellent result.

We were very pleased with the outcome and our sincere thanks go to our clients for their continued & solid support. We also appreciate the extremely positive feedback we received on the cattle presented at our 10th Anniversary Sale.


Barana Simmentals 10th Anniversary Annual On-Farm Bull Sale

The Barana sale is the premier Simmental sale in eastern Australia with the largest offering of purebred Simmental bulls by a single vendor. We have sold bulls nationwide and secured a solid client base. Stud principal, Peter Cook has worked hard over the past 30 years breeding & showing Simmentals reinforcing Barana’s reputation with both commercial & stud cattle producers.

At our tenth on-property sale we will be offering 58 bulls, predominantly polled & including our first offering of Canadian black Simmental embryo calves and 12 specially selected females plus 10 pure commercial Simmental heifers PTIC to an Angus bull to calve from June. The females on offer this year exhibit the superior maternal traits for which Simmentals are renowned.

Bulls will present in good, strong condition. Sale bulls have been on a ration of wheaten straw, lucerne hay & grain sorghum. Of this year’s sale draft, the majority are soft, early maturing, middle of the road type bulls. I believe this style of bull will introduce cattle into your herd that will eat less, have the ability to finish with a higher yield & put more dollars in your pocket.

As in past sales, objective data will be available for each bull & all inspections & guarantees you have come to expect from Barana will be provided. All bulls must pass stringent tests for breeding & soundness with the appropriate Veterinary Soundness Certificate provided. These bulls will also be semen tested, Breedplan recorded and scanned for EMA, FAT & IMF. Barana is classified in a Protected Zone, Free of Johnes. We do not carry out any foot trimming on any of the cattle presented.

Free cartage will be offered to bull buyers within a 300 km radius of Barana and for interstate bull buyers, free cartage along the major route from Coolah to Goondiwindi & from Coolah to Wodonga. Please note that free cartage does not apply to the female lots. The catalogue will be available for preview with photos on our website www.baranasimmentals.com.

Barana Simmentals offer quality, guarantees, reputation, performance & results. We look forward to seeing you on sale day.
