21 High Country Droughtmaster Bull and Female Sale, Eskdale We welcome you to our 8th Annual High Country Droughtmaster Bull and Female Sale. Our breeding objectives remain as strong as ever, centred around fertility, growth and performance. The last year has seen us grow with the expansion to over 450 commercial Droughtmaster breeders to be used in crossbreeding programs and commercial replacement breeder production, as well as our current core herd of 250 stud breeders. This is allowing us to create more performance data on our genetics and ensure we keep very focused on commercial beef production traits. 2021 has seen us introduce strong genetics from Glenlands D Droughtmasters as well as the top priced bull, Rondel Whiskey purchased in partnership with High Country, Nindethana and Glenlands D for the recordbreaking price of $160,000. The sale this year has 48 bulls by 17 sires and 30 females by 8 sires with the genetics of 19 diff erent sires featured in the catalogue. Once again, we provide you an early opportunity to gain genetics from some great sires and dams in our herd. Our bulls can play a very important role in helping you rebuild or further improve your breeding herd. Having an eff icient and fertile female is critical in obtaining good returns from your business. Consider buying bulls early in the season that have been comprehensively tested for fertility and soundness with the best guarantees in the breed. Bulls are fed to our specifi cations, which allows us to showcase their capabilities, without overfeeding and risking damage to their semen quality or longevity. We look forward to welcoming you on sale day. www.highcountrydroughtmasters.com.au
