Dulverton Angus Sale 24/05/23

Well, the day has arrived Greg & Sal have decided to “retire“ from staging their Annual Dulverton on property Angus Bull Sale, but not without a Grand Finale set down for Wednesday 24/05/23. The decision has not been taken lightly, Greg & Sal have truly enjoyed their Sale Days, while there are always those many anxious moments associated with Bull Sales, the rewards, have, in the main, far outweighed the expulsion of that “nervous energy” associated with the many unknowns unique to putting on an on property Bull Sale. The Dulverton herd has achieved a modicum of success as witnessed by the Sales of the past twenty (20) years. Greg and Sal are very proud of their achievements with The Dulverton herd and are extremely grateful to the many people who have contributed to the combined success, including the current Team Dulverton (Tim Grob, Owen Walmsley, Sam Donnelly, Toby Bruce, Stephanie Chappell, Fiona Meyer), past Team Dulverton members Aaron Graham, Michael Lee, Alex (Bizzy) Barbara Sam Redden, and Rachel Dahl and Sale Team Colin Say and Co.
Greg and Sal most definitely acknowledge that the interaction with their many loyal, long term clients on Sale day is a magnificent feature of their Sales and one they will most definitely miss. Greg & Sal do trust these many “relationships” do continue to flourish over the next decade-“People make the World go ‘round”.
Importantly, the couple have no intention of “Retiring” from breeding Angus Bulls, the challenge of getting a couple of steps closer to “The Near Perfect One” is still driving the dedicated couple. For example they have A.I’d 130 cows to Dunoon Re-Charge R102 and to their shared purchase (John & Selena Sylvester) sire, Alpine Next Gen R272. Further, 137 “S” heifers have been inseminated to Dulverton Smart Missile S058 and Dulverton Smart Missile S068, both are by Enhance, D.S058 is one of the highest Igenity Beef Profile indexing sires in Australia and The USA he registers a score of 71.
The other exciting young sire prospect being used over 55 of their “R” females is Clunie Range R762. This young fella combines two Farrer cow families, the Naomis and Mayflowers. The Farrer Naomi family originated from a heifer donated by Geoff Sanderson from the Tia Walla stud and the Mayflowers from C.J.(Jim) Anderson’s N’Goora stud. What a thrill for Greg & Sal to find a Sire they had to have, who’s pedigree traces back to two cows Greg gratefully received from The NEAB (New England Angus Breeders) as foundation cows into the Farrer herd, almost fifty (50) years ago. Greg & Sal eagerly await the progeny of these special set of young Sires and then with on selling them to those of you who wish to continue the quest of “Producing Beef of the non-failing eating experience consistently and price competitively”.
The Beef Industry and Angus cattle more specifically have absorbed Greg & Sal since 1980, the experiences have been challenging, absorbing, testing, at times frustrating, yet most definitely character building, rewarding and not to be “swapped for quids”.
Sal’s summary of the where to from here is simply “Business as usual without the Sale-call Chaps prior to the end of March when the bulls will be 16/17 months with your enquiry”.
See you at Shannon Vale for the very last Dulverton Angus Bull Sale Wednesday 24/05/2023.
