The 2016 BullZeye Droughtmaster sale was the center of attention for C.Q. droughty buyers last Friday in Capella. The seven vendors Needmor, Hamadra, S.C. , Locarno, Rondel, Sugerland and Medway teamed up to present 77 droughtmaster beef bulls. The consistency was evident across the line of sires who averaged an ema of 128, scrotal’s 39 and the age and weight of 23 months, 752kg respectively.

The buyers couldn’t agree more with the commercial relevant figures and the sale averaged $7804 with a 99% clearance. Bulls went across Queensland with the local centers of Clermont Dysart, Alpha, Springsure, Moura and Capella taking their fair share.
