WELCOME TO THE 2023 CASINO ALL BREEDS BULL & FEMALES SALE.
A message from the committee President, Bruce Lyle.
Casino All Breeds Sale committee president Bruce Lyle. Bruce says it’s the top quality locally bred bulls year after year, that’s got the Sale to where it is today & 2023 has a superb line-up..
The Northern Rivers region has just experienced the wettest year on record in 2022, in what can only be described as very trying times indeed for all producers. Many farms were fooded and badly fooded. The bulls you see on sale are true survivors and able to be offered for sale is a credit to the vendors and testament to the resilience of their cattle.
The current “stop start” season has also kept conditions quite variable across the region and the Bull Sale vendors are commenting that their bulls are continuing to do very well, this will certainly be refected in the quality and presentation of the offering at the Casino All Breeds Bull and Female Sale on Saturday July 29, committee president Bruce Lyle said. This sale is the perfect opportunity to top up your genetics. These are the bulls whose progeny will be marketed well into the future and return more proft for the producer.” Bulls are a long-term investment and it’s critical not to drop the ball on sourcing good quality local genetics” A wise weaner producer from my early breeding days told me many times that “you can’t control the weather or many other factors that affect proft – but the one thing you can control is the quality of the bulls you buy” Bruce said.
“Even with a testy cattle market, the high-quality well-bred cattle are the ones continually attracting the premium prices that can only come from sourcing top quality, locally bred bulls that are adapted to the area.” There will certainly be excellent opportunities to buy well at this year’s sale.
This year will see a terrifc draft of 174 stud and herd bulls on offer, and 29 stud females, principally supplied by local breeders. Covering many breeds, it really is a “1 stop shop” offering a great opportunity to secure quality bulls across many breeds at the one venue.
All vendors are registered stud cattle breeders and the bulls have a full parentage pedigree tree. “The quality and doing ability of the cattle on offer is the primary reason the sale has always been repeatedly supported by the most astute breeders from up & down the coast, the Tablelands and into Queensland” Bruce said.
The importance of Coastal producers to purchase locally coastal bred bulls has never been more important, as the deaths from “Theileria” on introduced cattle to the coastal area increases. Bruce recommended everyone to do their own homework on this disease, discuss with your vet or the North Coast Local Lands service staff and arm yourself with the info on this deadly disease.
The 2023 order of sale will be the European Breed bulls, British
Breed Bulls followed by the Bos Indicus Breed Bulls. The 29 Stud Females will be offered at the completion of the Bull offering. Online catalogue with Bull pictures and information can be found online at the sale website – www.casinoallbreeds. com.au
Printed catalogues are available from all the Casino agents, noting it’s an 11am start, so be early, he warned.
