THE WA bull selling season kicked off in earnest yesterday with the Landmark Great Southern Blue Ribbon Female and All Breeds bull sale.
Prices hit a high of $6250 for an Angus bull from the Mason Valley stud, Albany.
The bull, Mason Valley Alliance, was purchased by Wes Graham, WJ & FJ Graham, Esperance.
Equal second-top price honours went to the Quicksilver Charolais stud, Newdegate, and the Denbar Angus stud, Denbarker, with both studs selling bulls at $5500.
All up in the sale 48 bulls were sold at an average of $3494, to give a better than expected result for the breeders.
