Jerseys rule the day
BUSHLEA Farms landmark 25th anniversary sale attracted buyers from across Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia to the Koonwarra property on Saturday.
There were even several buyers from New Zealand and bids were taken by phone from Canada and the United States of America.
The owners of Bushlea, Keith and Pat Kuhne and Wayne and Lisa Kuhne, were happy to report the average price achieved on a day when 36 cows were auctioned was $5803.
Twelve bulls were offered as tag sales, with the price reaching an average of $3000.
The five embryos for sale went to one buyer for $1000.
Wayne Kuhne said the day went exceptionally well and thanked Bushlea’s sponsors Vic Feeds for catering at the event, Semex Australia for providing the coffee outlet, and JJB Contracting and Will Thorson Ag Contracting for the after sales drinks.
There were approximately 130 in attendance at the auction.
Show stopper: Wayne Kuhne parades his prized Galaxie Ferleaf. She was sold for $20,000, the highest price paid on a day when the average price for a cow was $5803.
