Texas Angus clients were the big winners in a new commercial sales concept pioneered by Ben and Wendy Mayne of Texas Angus.
In a truly innovative move, forced by extremes of client regional climatic conditions, the Mayne family have combined over 1000 client cattle under the third Annual Texas Angus Client Sale banner. In a real twist, the sale combined tender and Auctions plus conditions in a sale lasting one month. See more

Finished weighing the bulls today and their weights are above expectations. Top weight Lot 20 at 1002kgs and averaged 807kgs. More information
This year 15 bulls have cleared 900kgs which is an amazing result as they have all done it off oaten and forage rape crops. The sale bulls average EBVs are in the top 15 and 20% of the breed for growth, caracse weight and RBY. Texas has also made a significant jump in caracse EBVs which is an excellent result as our program doesn't compromise phenotype, weight for age, temperament, fertility and longevity just to gain the maximum genetic leap in IMF at the expense of these other important traits.
Lot 20 Texas Dynamite G500 (AI)(ET) hit 1002kgs today and not far behind was Lot 21 Texas Infinity G559 (AI)(ET) weighing a hefty 972kgs, while Lot 5 Texas Dynamite G560 (AI)(ET) was close on their heels at 970kgs, the full brother to the 2011 top priced bull that made $30,000.
11 bulls were transported to Central Queensland to feature in Triple B Brangus Inaugural Bull sale on Wednseday 2nd October. It was another solid sale for Texas topping at $14,000 and averaging $4,318 for the day. Texas 458N G562 (AI)(ET) weighing a hefty 980kgs was snapped up by the Barlow family. Most bulls were sold locally and others sold to pastoral stations further north.
Triple B Brangus had an excellent sale with a 89 percent clearance and selling to a top of $21,000 and averaging $4,139. The top priced bull Triple B G112 (AI) was sold to astute cattle breeders David and Prue Bonfield, Palgrove QLD.
