We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere at our 5th JAD Sale, held on March 31, 2023, and thank each and every person who came along. It was great to see our largest offering of bulls to date all go out into the industry, with cattle sold to every state of Australia. A big thanks to the team at Macdeb Livestock Transport, who delivered the sale animals without fuss. It has been great to hear from people who bought online and have been particularly pleased with the quality of their new JAD animals upon delivery. That has been a real thrill for us!
