2017 Bull Sale
The 8th Moogenilla Auction held in Forbes on Friday 4th August 2017 saw the 8th consecutive 100% clearance of Moogenilla bulls at Auction. 46 bulls sold for an average of $8760 and top of $16500. Bulls went to Qld and the NT, the Eastern and Western Riverina, Central West and Far Western NSW. The Auction average over the past 8 years is $5695.
We thank all our repeat clients for showing confidence in the job the Moogenilla bulls are doing in their herds, and our new clients for recognising the value in the Moogenilla bulls.
The sale featured 18 quality Te Mania Emperor sons, but the top priced bull was a Black Pearl son, with an Emperor dam.
The yearling Moogenilla bulls were scanned for Rib & Rump Fat and Eye Muscle Area, and had their scrotal measurements and weights submitted in September 2017. Their sisters also had scans and weightssubmitted to Angus Australia before joining in early October. The 2018 Auction will feature bulls by Te Mania Emperor, Millah Murrah Kingdom, Millah Murrah Klooney, Tour of Duty, Black Pearl and some Moogenilla sons of Te Mania Berkley and PA Power Tool.
Temperament is a focus at Moogenilla Angus. We are seeking the best docility information possible before selecting AI sires to use in the herd, and are constantly improving the docility of bulls produced. Temperament and structural soundness, particularly claw set, are the first selection criteria applied when we select AI sires, then we move on to the best balance of EBVs and type we can achieve.
