A lovely sunny winter’s day brought one of Texas Angus's largest crowd to witness the stud’s record breaking sale. The stud and commercial demand at this year’s sale hadn't been seen for a number of years and is a definite reflection of the strong cattle market and demand for quality bulls with weight for age, fleshing, softness and calving ease. The exceptional line up of 107 bulls with an average weight of 820kgs were fiercely contested on July 30th that saw a top price record of $45,000 and a total clearance with a very healthy average of $7,229.
In the lead up to the sale, the interest in Lot 4 Texas Mount K2 had never been experienced by the stud before. Mount K2's near perfect data set with his impeccable structure, desirable phenotype and outstanding temperament created an explosion of attention from all over Australia and internationally and when he stepped into the ring there was no disappointment. A hotly contested bidding war ended with Mount K2 being knocked down for $45,000 to a syndicate of studs including Welcome Swallow and Sandon Glenoch Angus with Texas retaining a 1/4 share.

TEXAS ANGUS TAKES OUT 2015 HIGHEST WEIGHT GAIN PEN AT ROYAL SYDNEY BEEF CHALLENGE
The Royal Sydney Beef Challenge winning pen for the highest daily weight gain in the 100 Day Export Feedlot Trial - 6 Pure Texas Angus Steers
We are thrilled with the results of the 2015 Royal Sydney Beef Challenge where 6 purebred Texas Angus steers placed 1st for the highest daily weight gain in the 100 day Export feed trial from a cohort of 120 steers and heifers of all breeds and crosses. We were also extremely pleased when another pen of 6 placed 2nd for daily weight gain for the 70 day Domestic feed trial which had a massive 330 steers and heifers in the group. These purebred were competing against cross bred cattle that had the added advantage of hybrid vigour. This was history making for the stud as it was the first time it has ever entered cattle in a feedlot trial and are looking forward to seeing how these steers progress in the carcase section of the competition. On visual appraisal the export pen was placed 4th overall and the stud received a 3rd placing for the best single domestic animal.
This was a great endorsement of the Angus Breed and the Texas Angus Breeding Program and a valuable way of comparing the Texas cattle to other leading commercial and seedstock operations of southern QLD and Northern NSW.
The brand that ways and pays - Breed Better With Texas!
Texas Angus was established 79 years ago in Texas, Queensland. The stud is highly recognised for its integrity and commitment of producing quality Angus genetics for Australia, particularly for the north.
The stud produces 200 sound problem free bulls bred with cutting edge technology focusing on growth, carcase, fertility, temperament and longevity. 100 bulls are sold at auction with the rest selling privately through contract and or paddock sales. All females and males are run under large contemporary groups to extract the most accurate information and to shell out any poor performers.
The stud is a family run operation with limited outside help. It’s a no frills operation, with all marketing done in house. The Texas cattle speak for themselves. We invite you to come and have a look at our program anytime as we love showing people our cattle and having a chat!
