The stud principals believe the Helmsman system offers bull buyers a greater selection choice without the pressure of a sale auction. Buyers will be able to bid on-line via the AuctionsPlus format or elect to bid on-property at Bullamakinka under this bidding system.
This will give buyers the option of inspecting the sale bulls before sale day and bid via the AuctionsPlus system if they are unable to attend the sale at Bullamakinka.
A quality draft of 51 select sires have been catalogued for this year’s sale with most polled and classified. The sale bulls are well grown having all been prepared off oats, fully vaccinated, semen motility and morphology tested, tested negative to pesti and presented fit and ready for work.
This year’s draft are represented by many sires including stud foundation sire bloodlines Canowindra Gold Edition and Warenda Sentry (P), which are represented by more than half of the sale draft.
Another stud sire to feature in this year’s sale is Yarrawonga Diplomat (P) purchased in 2014 for $34,000 and producing seven well-muscled sons, particularly lots six and seven.
Other stud sires producing quality sale bulls this year are a Chaparrosa Peter Pan son, Bullamakinka J94 (P), Wave Hill Major (P) and Rosevale X-Hibitionist A96.
