The average price was a record for the reputable southern NSW whiteface stud based at Book Book near Wagga.
Stud principal, Marc Greening presented an outstanding lineup of bulls and attracted a mix of new and repeat purchasers.
The 77 Poll Hereford and Hereford bulls sold in a 100 per cent clearance and the average price was significantly higher than last year’s result of $6891.
In a remarkable feat, the Injemira Stud, with the help of the Allendale ANZAC E114 bloodlines have lifted their sale average by $2602 in the past two years and continue to attract the eyes of the whiteface world as one of the leading Poll Hereford and Hereford studs in the breed.
It was not all the Anzac's that stole the show, but they played a huge part in the average as the first 18 bulls of the sale - all ANZAC’S - averaged $11,833.
On the same note 60 of the 77 bulls offered and sold were Poll Hereford bulls, which averaged an astonishing $9066.
Mr Greening opened the sale and talked about the bullish beef industry and the fact the industry was now, for the first time, being driven by world forces that offered consistency to the world market and prices.
The top bull Injemira ANZAC J188, was a son of Allendale ANZAC E114 out of a Injemira Pattie D119 female, with a good balance of figures to +86 for 600 day, $111 Supermarket $Index, positive for rib and rump, +2.2 for the all important Intramuscular fat percentage figure and +4.2 for eye muscle area, all wrapped up in a moderate frame and Homopzygous polled to boot.
He was secured by Steve Reid, Talbalba Herefords, Millmerran, Queensland and Lachy Day, Days Whiteface, Bordertown, South Australia, for $32,000.
Mr Reid was on hand to buy the bull and said his carcase attributes and the way he fits the commercial industry were the biggest draw cards to the bull, along with strong muscling, breed leading IMF figures, positive fats and the fact he was Homozygous polled was an added bonus.
Another Anzac son was snapped by Sam King, Bowmont Herefords, Tatyoon, Victoria and Keith Miles, Bingeberry Herefords, Rouchel, for $24,000.
