A SIXTEEN-month-old bull with "below average birthweight, good average growth figures and good carcuss data" topped the Rosskin Angus bull sale with a sale price of $12,000 on Monday last week.

Rosskin Hector 009, or Lot 21 of 34 young bulls for sale, was sold via phone bidding to the Glen River Pastoral Company at Delegate.

The young bull was sired by Coonamble Hector H249 from Rosskin Dream Q61 and born on May 5 last year.

Twenty four of the 34 bulls offered at the auction were sold, with an average price of $7200.

Rosskin part owner, Adam Rosskin, said he was happy with the sale, which had been held in "one of the toughest years".

"We have a good number of supporters, people who come back each year," he said.

"It has been a tough year. We had a late summer and the severe weather hasn't helped."

Rosskin, established in 1983 and owned by the Walters family - Martin and Liz, with son Adam, is located at Boundary Creek, Jimenbuen Rd, Dalgety.

The company's annual bull sale usually auctions 30-35 bulls.

Auctioneer Matt Campion of Nutrien Stud Stock Sales said sale prices on the day were solid, especially in the current climate.

"An average price of $7200 is a solid price," he said.
