Beer, Bulls & BBQ
3rd March 2017
Join us for a beer and BBQ at the cattle yards from 4pm onwards. The bulls will be on display and Julian will give a quick talk on “Making your own selection index with BreedObject”, during which he will present a comparison of sale bulls and breed leading sires and their value in systems based on weaner and feeder steer production.
An informal Helmsman sale will conclude at the event.
Sale Process
The Helmsman Auction system combines the good features of both the auction system and sale by private treaty. Buyers get the opportunity to bid on and buy any bull in the offering at market value without any pressure.
Bulls are for sale simultaneously with a published reserve price. Place your bid early to bid at the reserve price. Subsequent bids can be made by other parties in increments of $250.
Prospective buyers that cannot attend the BBQ may view and bid on the bulls by prior appointment. Should early bids be over-bid, we will attempt to contact underbidders not present at the BBQ to give them the opportunity to increase their bid. To make the most of the Helmand system, we recommend you attend or send a proxy.
Bidding will conclude at 6pm at the BBQ on 3rd March.
