Comments:  The most successful Yavenvale sale to date. The largest crowd and most registered buyers competed on the biggest (and best) offering ever at Yavenvale which resulted in our highest average and number of bulls sold. Tremendous commercial support from new and past clients including the top price purchaser and a host of multiple buyers from five states. Buyers were chasing bulls with balanced Breedplan figures including breed leading carcase data and excellent doing ability.

The second half of the catalogue averaged more than the first half showing just how much depth was in this year's sale team. Great paddock orders on completion of the sale saw over 100 bulls cleared for the day.

 The good news kept coming with Yavenvale named one of eight finalists in the Stock and Land Beef Week heifer challenge.
