THE Hazeldean team had a very successful Spring Bull Sale on Thursday drawing a large number of buyers which saw the top priced bull selling for $25,000 to an online bidder in South Australia.

Established in 1927, Hazeldean Angus is part of Hazeldean Pty Ltd, a pastoral enterprise owned and operated by the Litchfield family.

The quality of bulls, in one of the largest line-ups for the team's annual Spring sale, was described in the sale catalogue as "excellent, with well-balanced data sets and outstanding phenotypes".

"It was a tough enough winter but the bulls have come through the winter exceptionally well," stud stock manager, Bea Litchfield, said.

142 bulls were sold from 142 offered, topping at $25,000, with a sale average of $13,106.

"We are really pleased with the result, it was a very strong sale. The consistency of the bulls helped, they were very even and that was reflected in the average price."

Sales on the day also included a number of bulk buys.

"There were a few new clients in attendance which was great to see, and there was also a lot of strong repeat clients and local clients," Ms Litchfield said.

"They were from northern NSW right down to Victoria and South Australia.

"It's great to hear the very positive feedback we are getting from our clients, particularly on the calving ease front - there's people who have hardly had to help any heifers this past calving season and that's of great benefit for a commercial breeding enterprise as live calves on the ground is their number one profit driver, and they've got growth and carcase behind that, so it's all been tracking along well."

Ms Litchfield said the positive reception and strong feedback on the Hazeldean bloodlines, particularly through weaner sales earlier in the year, reinforces the company's commitment to its true-to-type breeding program and strict selection standards.

"Our bulls for sale today boast impressive statistics, with the average Birth Weight in the top 48 percent, 600-day Weight in the top 34 percent, and Intramuscular Fat in the top 30 percent of the breed."
