Two 'hearts' of the Bullakeana herd

WHEN the concept of the GDL BLING Sale first came about, Bullakeana stud co-principal Brad Hanson's initial thought was " yep, we ' re in" calf (full brother) this year "

Mr Salisbury said Bimbadeen females are known for their fertility

"Over the past decade, we ' ve also added a little more frame into our females, taking care not to lose fertility and feminine traits

"These heifers find that great balance of being beautifully feminine, yet able to offer the kind of beef measures that matter in the marketplace "

Bimbadeen will also hold their annual on-property sale with 80 bulls on offer, on September 19, 2023

"I felt that the time of the year was right for a female sale, and provided the opportunity to market prestigious genetics to a global audience," Mr Hanson said "The sale concept paired with the barrier draw of The Archer adds an interesting dimension to the event "

Bullakeana is a Brangus and Ultrablack stud located at Woolthorpe, east of Theodore in Central Queensland

Brad and Vicki Hanson established Bullakeana in 1998, and their focus has always been on breeding commercially relevant seedstock.

The stud is celebrating its silver anniversary with 2023 being their 25th year of breeding Brangus cattle Alongside their four children, Bullakeana has evolved into a family run operation

Their approach to the selection of females for the BLING Sale came down to proven pedigrees, fertility, and structure

"

The cow families that back the two heifers have consistently proven themselves as champions from the show ring to the paddock

While most say that they offer their best, we ' re offering the true hearts of our herd."

Named after luxury items, Versace (lot 3) and Victoria's Secret (lot 4) are accurate models of the Bullakeana motto: beef, bone, balance

Both females bring something new to the table
