It was a day of breaking records at the Thompson Family\u2019s Millah Murrah Angus Bull Sale on 3rd September. The massive crowd was privileged to witness history being made with the highest priced Angus bull ever sold in Australia at an auction that also recorded the highest sale average of any breed ever in Australia.<\/p>\n

The high selling bull, Millah Murrah Tex K35 (now renamed Millah Murrah Kingdom K35), sold at the record setting price of $150,000, to a syndicate including ABS Australia, Witherswood Angus, Gilmandyke Angus and Ascot Angus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second top priced bull, Millah Murrah Theo K42 (now renamed Millah Murrah Klooney K42), also sold to a syndicate including ABS Australia, Witherswood Angus, Gilmandyke Angus, and Cherylton Angus for $80,000.<\/p>\n

Spokesperson for the syndicates, John Woodruff, Witherswood Angus, described the bulls as being \u201ccorrect, thick, with lots of bone and strong sire heads and lovely soft skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve both got pretty much everything. K35 is the perfect package of weight for age, pedigree and quality phenotype that\u2019s rarely found in the Angus breed and K42 is just a beautifully put together young sire from a quite superb cow.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth these bulls are going to move the breed to a new level in terms of maternal quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so rare to find two genuine stud sires at a sale that are so even and correct in structure\u201d said Mr Woodruff.<\/p>\n

ABS Australia\u2019s Beef Product Manager, Bill Cornell, commented that \u201cWe have making regular visits to Millah Murrah because of the awesome maternal power, beautiful phenotype and structural integrity of the herd.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started inspecting the 2014 autumn bull crop ten months ago and, as they developed, a couple of individuals rose to the top. The two bulls we selected were K35 and K42.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that these bulls have a large role to play in reinvigorating maternal cow power phenotype and structure back into the breed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bulls will be available to all seedstock and commercial breeders alike\u201d<\/p>\n

The bulls\u2019semen will be available and marketed through ABS Australia under their new names Kingdom K35 and Klooney K42.<\/p>\n

Auctioneer Paul Dooley commented after the sale that \u201cWhile the cattle market has been hitting new highs, today\u2019s sale has reached a new paradigm; it was a hell of sale. Today was the first time I\u2019ve sold a bull for more than $100,000 and sold a catalogue of bulls that has grossed more than a million dollars, it was exciting to be a part of the day and due recognition for the Thompson Family\u2019s breeding program\u201d.<\/p>\n
