Cambridge stud dispersal sets Australasian records.
A stud dispersal of Ayrshire cattle has set Australasian records for the highest-priced cow and the sale average price for the breed.
The top price was $31,000 for Lot 63 Amarula A Sharon, and the high average price was $5196, for 63 Ayrshires that included this year’s calves.
Premier Cattle Co of Cambridge dispersed both its registered Ayrshire and Jersey cattle to enable greater focus on Speckle Park and Murray Grey beef cattle breeding and a large commercial Holstein Friesian dairy herd.
Auctioneer Brian Leslie for the Pursuit of Perfection dispersal sale said three-year-old Amarula A Sharon has an exceptional udder.
She sold to Joanna Fowlie and Richard Waugh. Her six-week-old heifer calf sold for $6100 to Anchor Farms of Ōhaupō.
Second-highest price was $23,000 paid for Lot 1, Premier Jumper Blueprint, an eight-year-old champion cow, bought by the partnership of Vince Steiner, New Zealand and Munden Farms, Australia.
The average for cows sold was $6143 for 41 lots. A total of 11 yearlings sold for an average of $3768 and a total of 11 autumn- and spring-born calves sold for an average of $3468.
The 32 registered Jerseys averaged $3527 and a top at $6000 for the six-year-old Premier Sweet Tequila.
