The top-priced bull will be coming to Gisborne. The stud put up 50 young bulls for sale in front of the more than 200 people packed into their on-farm rostrum, and sold the lot. The sale opened in scintillating fashion when Lot 1 sold for $86,000, bought by Oregon Angus in the Wairarapa. But minutes later the auction reached even greater heights when Lot 8, advanced to the second position on the schedule, sold for $104,000. The “super-stylish, strong-sided individual with an embarrassment of riches” — as described by the auctioneer — was bought jointly by Kaharau Angus and Orere Angus of Gisborne. “He was just the type, the shape, the structure that we wanted, with the grunt thrown in,” said Orere studmaster Ben Johnson. “He is the perfect bull for us, and he had nice, even figures.” Ben said the joint purchase was a huge thing for their young stud. “For my wife Kylie and me it’s the start of something special.” The Johnsons, who earlier this week won the Wonder Cup again for the champion bull in the Combined Sale at Matawhero, TOP PRICE: Everything about this rising have only been stud breeding Angus cattle two-year-old bull at yesterday’s Turiroa in the district for three years.
