Southern Star Rural Bull Achieves Top Price

October 13, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

A senepol bull of the Southern Star Rural Senepol stud at Canowindra achieved a top price of $12,000 at the 14th annual 5 Star Senepol and African Hybrid Bull Sale held at Rockhampton recently. Clayton and Sarah Maynard own Southern Star. Their bull was sold to the Goodard family from Queensland.

With 81 lots auctioned, the sale grossed a total of $545,000 with an average of $7,569 and the top lot going for $16,000. Buyers came from Queensland and northern NSW. What sets these bulls apart from other Senepol bulls is that they are selected from over 500 male progeny. Selection is done whilst running on ticky forest country at Mt. Eugene, Jambin and Belmont Research Station, Rockhampton. They have to perform on grass, adapting to heat, ticks, flies and Lantana, with minimal chemical treatment. Geoff Maynard, stud principal for 5 Star Senepol, said there had not been a better time for the cattle industry with record prices throughout the country.

Clayton and Sarah also produce Senegus Bulls (Senepol Angus cross) which were all sold at the auction for an average of $6,000. The Senegus bulls are small birth weight and suited to heifer matings. They have many more variables that affect ease of calving, namely gestation, length, muscle pattern, and nutrition especially in the third trimester.

Interesting Times Ahead In Market

October 13, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

After another month, markets across all categories are still staying strong. With water slowly starting to recede and
some strong numbers starting to hit the markets, we have interesting times ahead. Cattle are still reaching record prices with very strong restocker activity pushing prices to high rates with restocking steers and heifers fetching from $3.80 and up to $4.50c/kg. Kill cattle are reaching steady prices for good kill steers and heifers making from
$3.50 to $4.00c/kg. There is strong competition for breeders as well with some mixed age cows and calves making in excess of $3,000 per unit. These prices are a good indication of confidence in the future of the cattle market.

Sheep and lamb markets are starting to feel a little pressure with more numbers on the market. The restocking market for sheep ramped up with good 1st X ewes making well over $200 and very good joinable oneyear merino ewes up to $250. Restocking lambs are hard to buy unless you have a big cheque book, with store lambs making from
$90 to $120.

In the fat market, prices are starting to ease with more numbers becoming available to purchase. Prices for very good suckers make from $5.50 to $5.80c/kg and the best of the mutton make up towards $4.00c/kg. I believe all livestock prices will ease over the coming month but will remain relatively strong.

Jemalong Wool Weekly Market Update

October 13, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

Week ending 6 October 2016
A smaller than expected offering and an easing in the AUD saw this week’s market open on a solid note, leaving
the NRI to close the week 8 cents dearer at 1341. Wednesday’s market saw most merino fleece types gain 5 cents with some strong buying pressure on the 18.5 and the 19.5 microns areas. Thursday’s market was overall firm with the
fine to medium microns slightly dearer, while the broader microns were just off the pace, with the higher mid break
lots lacking some buyer support.

Merino skirtings gained 20-30 cents for the better style finer types with low Vm, while other types remained firm.
Oddments were also well supported, with Locks & crutchings closing fully firm, while stains were 10-15 cents dearer.
This week’s crossbred offering was firm and unchanged for 26 micron and broader on a limited offering.
Next week’s market is currently forecast at 37,681 bales.

Spruce Up Your Home And Keep Cool This Summer

October 6, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

With summer just around the corner it is now time to start thinking about keeping your house cool for summer and looking to give your house a small facelift internally. Keeping cool is just so important over the many hot dry months of summer that we have in our local area, and there is no better way than to have one of the coolest, quietest and most energy efficient evaporative air conditioners installed and ready to go. Breezair, which can be installed for
you by Shead and Nicholson in Forbes can cool your whole house for the cost of running a single light globe. It is important to remember that evaporative cooling is the best choice for longevity, energy efficiency and comfort. It is also up to 90% cheaper to run than reverse cycle cooling, and has very low maintenance costs. Call now to ensure
that you stay cool this summer.

When looking for ways to smarten up the interior of your house, why not drop down to the newly located Painted Daisies, which is now at 1 Templar Street, next door to Little Extras Lifestyle – easy and convenient for the girls to go on a real shopping spree. The new shop, whilst slightly smaller brings light and warmth in an intimate atmosphere.

Perfect Time To Sell Rural Properties

September 15, 2016 by Maggi Barnard

In almost 20 years of selling Rural Properties throughout the Central West, Ainslie Toole of Landmark Harcourts, Forbes has never seen a better time to sell. “How often do we see in our lifetime a season like this with strong commodities and the lowest interest rates in recorded history?”

These factors have increased sales of all rural properties. This has led to a shortage of listings and a lift in prices achieved. “We are encouraging vendors to seriously consider auctioning to ensure the best price is achieved.”
The strong outlook in cattle and sheep markets has seen domestic buyers expanding and investors seeking alternative opportunities with agriculture an attractive option.

A lower Australian dollar typically lifts commodity prices. Combined with low interest rates and free trade agreements with Japan, South Korea and China will lead to an increased demand for agribusiness enterprises.
We are now listing our Spring auctions, so call to ensure you capitalize on these positives. If you want to sell it is important to choose an agent with local experience and affordable national and international marketing options.
