Save the date: Annual cattle sales - 11 July and 2 August 2023
Each year, the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade auctions a portion of our Brahman and tropical composite cattle.
The animals are from the department’s long term selective breeding programs and current genetic research projects. The upcoming sales are an opportunity for industry to invest in high-performance cattle that have been bred to be more productive, fertile and adapted to the Territory climate.
Cattle offered for sale have estimated breeding values (EBVs) and the bulls have passed a breeding soundness evaluation.
Bull sale
The bull sale will be held on Tuesday 11 July 2023 with approximately 100 bulls on offer. The bulls are located at the Katherine Research Station.
Cow sale
The cow sale will be held on Wednesday 2 August 2023 with approximately 100 cows on offer.
All cows have successfully raised at least one calf, 84 PTIC and 12 empty cows. Polled (PP) and Scurred (PH) cows available.
The cows are located at the Douglas Daly Research Farm, Beatrice Hill Research Farm and Katherine Research Station.
The sales will be conducted online through AuctionsPlus with a full catalogue provided by Elders closer to the date.
The department invites interested parties to make an appointment to inspect the cattle from June onwards.
