Search our lists below to see bull sales coming up around Australia, and to get the results of recently completed stud and herd bull sales around the country.
The information is a valuable resource to help bull buyers make decisions about upcoming purchases and to stay abreast of latest bull price levels.
Both lists are fully searchable by breed, time-frame, region and specific stud prefix.
With next year’s calves now on the ground for many commercial cattle and seedstock producers, this week’s column looks at what sits behind a weaning weight, how much comes from the calf and how much from the cow, and why a single weight shouldn’t be relied on when selecting bulls or keeping heifers. It draws on the long-term Line 1 Hereford work at Fort Keogh, BreedPlan guidance and the Beef CRC maternal productivity project…Read More
With some bulls purchased during current spring sales heading into AI collection, a lot of herds will be using FTAI to access those genetics. This week’s column looks at the part of the program that often gets less attention: the back-up bulls. It covers measuring AI and natural service pregnancies separately, planning bull numbers on the females likely to return rather than the total in the paddock, and selecting back-up bulls to the same breeding objective as the AI sire…Read More

While many producers already use genetic information to help select bulls, genomic tools remain underutilised in commercial heifer selection. When used alongside phenotypic assessment and performance records, genomics can help identify the females with superior genetic potential, improve selection accuracy and accelerate genetic gain. Here’s how to get started…Read More

This week’s column uses weaning results as the starting point and looks at why producers often put poor performance down to either nutrition or genetics, when both can be factors. It draws on CashCow and the 2025 Northern Genomics analysis, and builds on genomic prediction and Days to Calving material we discussed in an earlier column…Read More

Brahmans in northern Australia appear to be at a major crossroads on how they use objective data to improve genetics and in the advancement of the breed. The newly announced review is an opportunity for the Brahman breed to embrace data, as some within the breed are already doing, writes Ian McLean from Bush Agribusiness…Read More
