Sale Comments
The Autumn 2018 Helmsman sale at Wirruna Poll Herefords was very strong with over 70 registered bidders from all states and more operating via AuctionsPlus. Highlights include some good genetics heading west, into Terraneil and Quaindering Poll Hereford Studs. Also stud females to Ted Hill & Ron Russell, also from Western Australia and some to Webb mining in Tasmania. Lot 2 went to Westmorland Poll Herefords, Lot 4 went to a UK client, other studs successfully purchasing included Yavenvale, Thornleigh, Pipersleigh, Swanvale, Bendulla and Oakdowns.
Stud principle Ian Locke said the sale had a good feel with many long term clients picking up bulls a sensible commercial prices, a few new clients and lots of stud interest in the elite end of the genetics.
