On Wednesday the 15th of April our fifth Yearling bull sale was conducted on AuctionsPlus. No on farm presence occurred as we decided this best met the Government brief in the Stage 3 Lockdown due to COVID-19. Instead Agent offices were busy with 52 registered bidders around the country. Corcoran Parker and GTSM were involved in presale inspections and organisation.

Two weeks from sale day we also made the decision to video individual bull lots and post on AuctionsPlus in an effort to best describe the bulls on offer. Technology in combination with the collective efforts of all involved, worked exceedingly well and we secured a 100% clearance, a top price of $8500 and a very pleasing average of $5605.
