Nebo's MacGibbon family sell Brangus heifers at $2500/head at Sarina Feature Breeder Female Sale

Drawn from Nebo's MacGibbon Holdings family property at Lillianvale, the quality females achieved results above the vendors expectations.

Nutrien Livestock agent James Saunders, Mackay, said the sale provided a unique opportunity for restockers to secure top quality females.

"From my understanding, it was probably one of the best crowds ever seen there at the Sarina saleyards," Mr Saunders said.

"It was an exceptional yarding of quality females, which achieved results above our vendors' expectations.

"In terms of how the market performed, older cows sold firm, while for the younger females it was a lot stronger, with the bulk of them very sought after."

The sale was also interfaced with Elite Livestock Auctions for the first time at the Sarina saleyards, with up to 40 registered bidders recorded.

The MacGibbons also sold 60 grey Brahman No. 1 heifers, topping their category to make $2200/head.
