The 2011 Dulverton Angus Bull Sale conducted at Shannon Vale Station Glen Innes, realised two milestones for Greg and Sally;
- The celebration of 30 years of breeding registered Angus.
- The 10th annual on property Angus sale at Shannon Vale.
The crowd was obviously bolstered by a better than usual late July day in Glen Innes and 74 registered to bid. Exactly half (37) of the registered bidders were successful purchasers of a Dulverton ‘E’ bull.
Nineteen of the 37 individual purchasers were local Glen Innes district beef producers, with 6 of these being new clients and 13 repeat clients.

The principals of Dulverton Greg and Sally would like to thank all successful purchasers of Dulverton ‘E’ bulls and trust they will live up to expectations. To those unsuccessful underbidders thanks also for your support.
Successful bull sales are the result of many hours of work by many people. Greg and Sally would like to acknowledge the selling agents Colin Say & Co for their professionalism and attention to detail. Fiona Smith, Hoofprint Catalogues, has acquitted herself magnificently in setting out the catalogue and Margaretta Travers continues to do a sterling job with both the photography and set up of the website.
