Boonoke Hereford herd
The deteriorating season in western New South Wales has now forced the hand of station owners to the north of Deniliquin, NSW.
At next Thursday’s WVLX Mortlake store sale some 650 Hereford weaners, pure Ironbark-blood, will be offered by Australian Food and Agriculture properties, Wingadee, Boonoke and Barratta along with Angus and Angus-cross weaner lines from Mullingar and Morroco East.
Ron Rutledge, Elders, said the pastoral season had gone beyond salvage, with much of the area being destocked of cattle in particular.
“These are exceptionally well-bred young weaners but small” he said.
Also being cleared at Bendigo sheep sale on Monday is 2600 Boonoke-bred White Suffolk-Merino young lambs, April/May-drop.
