The sale saw 120 calved Holsteins up for auction at the Victorian Livestock Exchange in Leongatha, hosted by Dairy Livestock Services.
Dairy Livestock Services agent Andrew Mackie said the day was an overall success with big bids placed on quality livestock.
“The highest bid for the day was on a Holstein sold by my brother Stuart and I,” Mr Mackie said.
“It went to Brett Kelly from Lang Lang for $7250.”
The Mackie’s also nabbed the second highest sale of another Holstein to Les and Louise Calder of Meeniyan for $7000.
“A lot of Holsteins sold around the $5000 mark. The average sale price of Holsteins for the day was over $3000,” Mr Mackie said.
The entire sale day included commercial and cross bred cows with the top commercial bid going at $3200.
The entire sale achieved an average bid of $2800.
