There’s nothing like rain on the roof to stimulate a wonderful sale day atmosphere! We have pegged our 2024 annual Autumn sale – our 6th sale, held on April 5 – as our favourite sale yet. The rain fell pretty much all day but that didn’t dampen spirits, with a large crowd present.
We were rapt with the feedback received by those in attendance about the consistent, high quality of the offering, and appreciate that we were well-rewarded for our offering, with every lot sold to four states. A big thanks to the team at Macdeb Livestock Transport, who delivered the sale animals without fuss. Thank you to everyone who attended, and especially to those who supported our sale.
