55th Annual Sale will be held on 27th July where 260 of our very best bulls will go under the hammer. Our bulls are born into big mobs of 200-350 cows (800 cows in total) that rotationally graze the native grasses of the Warialda district. Some are lucky enough to graze maybe a couple of improved sub tropical paddocks. The bulls are weaned onto subtropical grasses and finished for the sale on oats crops. All bulls are grown out in large paddocks where they walk kilometres for feed and water. They are taught to walk early and no bulls are confined in small paddocks with self feeders! All bulls are from the same contemporary group – No bulls have been selected to be fed for shows or to be a feature bull of the sale. That gives you the buyer the ability to compare equally.
Come and see the bulls at our OPEN DAY 6th July. All bulls will be penned from 10am – 3pm at Doongara, 748 North Star Rd Warialda NSW. It’s a great way to see the bulls prior to sale, chat with us and have a a nice day out. Lunch and refreshments are supplied including a a variety of hearty homemade soups plus more! If you can not make this day we are only too happy to show you the bulls, they all run in large grass paddocks on Doongara, very accessible and we LOVE seeing people our bulls. We are so proud of this year’s bulls that the last 60 bulls (lot 200-260) are in the front two paddocks as you drive into Doongara!

Sydney Royal Agricultural Show (RAS) Beef Challenge Results
We have been benching our breeding program in feeder carcase trials across the Eastern seaboard to see where we sit against not only against Angus but against all breeds and crosses. We have been entering RAS Beef Challenge since 2015, Beef Australia since 2018 and more recently started competing at the prestigious EKKA RNA Paddock to Palate competition in 2020. These competitions have been excellent in providing quality information that is commercially relevant and the the success of our steers and heifers have certainly concreted our breeding program is not only getting live calves, females are rebreeding but also the progeny are growing quickly, hit market specifications that is ultimately profitable for our clients and enjoyed by consumers that return to buy more beef.
