The Wise family and entire Glenisa team welcome you to our 15th Annual Bull & Female Sale, to be held on farm at Glenisa, Glen Aplin, Qld.
The past year at Glenisa Angus has been highly rewarding. Prior to last year’s sale, we were privileged to achieve outstanding results at the RNA Paddock to Palate Competition awards evening. We were honoured to receive 1st place in Class 40 – RNA Paddock to Palate Overall Winner, 2nd place in Class 37 – JBS Australia RNA Paddock to Palate Overall Winner, both 1st and 2nd place in Class 37C – Zoetis MSA Eating Quality Competition, and 3rd place in Class 40C – Coopers Animal Health MSA Eating Quality Competition. These accomplishments reinforce the commercial viability of our herd and its ability to consistently perform at the highest standards. We are again looking forward to seeing how our purebred Glenisa steers perform in this year’s competition.
In May 2025, in collaboration with our cattle reproduction team from Wise Repro, we had the privilege of welcoming 250 guests to our Glenisa sale complex as part of the World Angus Forum pre-tour. A selection of this year’s sale draft was exhibited, and we greatly appreciated the positive feedback from attendees. Both Australian Angus industry leaders and international breeders consistently noted the uniformity, phenotype, soundness of feet, and calm temperament of the bulls on display. The Glenisa Angus breeding program aims to produce animals that are high performing with an emphasis on longevity and docility, the past year has provided us with feedback that assures us we are meeting these targets.
This year’s sale draft accurately reflects the quality of our Glenisa program, and these bulls will provide significant value to any herd. The draft features sons of the industry leading Knowla Monty M186, a Glenisa Quarterback and Glenisa Lotto son, as well as international sires Mill Brae Benchmark, Ellingson Rangeland and Baldridge SR Goalkeeper.
All sale bulls have been fully vaccinated with 7in1, Vibrovax, BEF and tick fever trivalent, tested negative for pestivirus, semen and morphology tested, so they are primed and ready to enter your herd and perform.
We are again this year offering a selection of Glenisa Angus commercial heifers. These females represent Glenisa’s breeding objectives – high performing, carcass cattle with excellent docility and an emphasis on structural correctness and fertility.
If you can’t make it to the Glenisa sale on Friday, 5th September, you can still view videos of every catalogued bull by scanning the QR code inside the cover or by visiting the Glenisa Angus website. You also have the option to join the sale online through AuctionsPlus. If you’d like to inspect the draft before the sale, please feel free to contact Ben Lobegeiger on 0408 710 392.

During the afternoon and evening of 5th May 2025 we at Glenisa Angus were fortunate to have hosted some 250 delegates as part of the World Angus Forum pre tour. Our teams from Glenisa Angus and our bovine reproduction team from Wise Repro all pitched in to make the event the success it was.
The pre tour commenced a week earlier with a sunset cruise on Sydney Harbour, then continued to tour Australia’s finest Angus businesses, spinning yarns and making memories along the way. The tour included 2 days in Tamworth for the largest display of Angus cattle in the southern hemisphere, the Zoetis AngusExpo. Ced, Ben, Clinton, Nigel, and Ty attended this event, viewing and discussing many cattle programs and shared in the conversations and drinks with over 4,000 international delegates and Australian beef breeders.
While some might say all roads lead to Tamworth, let’s be honest — all roads truly led to Glenisa Angus, Glen Aplin. And yes, we’re calling it the main event (totally unbiased, of course). The dream team of Glenisa Angus and Wise Repro rolled out the red carpet showcasing to the World what true Queensland hospitality looks like. WOW — what a night! The highlight? Without a doubt — the moment 26 different languages and accents came together to sing Happy Birthday to our fearless principal, Ced Wise. The evening flew by with cattle chats around the bonfire while the Luiz’s Barbecue team prepared a Glenisa Angus heifer slow-cooked for 24 hours in Brazilian BBQ style. Somehow, it all felt just like home.
To top it all off, Kimberley, Sam and Aaron joined Ced and Lincoln for the sparkles and lights of Brisbane and the Forum itself. And would you believe it? The beef and brilliant catch-ups just kept coming. The feedback from those who had previously attended Glenisa Angus was so very humbling, we were continually credited for the cattle we had on display (being this year’s sale bulls and a selection of 18month old springing heifers) for their tremendous growth, docility and excellent feet. It was a wonderful opportunity to showcase our cattle to leaders of our breed from around the world and will be an evening we hold dear in our hearts.
Last year saw Glenisa Angus’s inaugural entry into the highly competitive and well-regarded annual RNA Paddock to Palate competition and what an entrance it was.
In Class 40, the 100 day HGP Free Export class our pen of steers were awarded overall champion, not only that but our steers in Class 37, the 100 Day HGP Export class were awarded 2nd overall.
To say we’re over the moon with the result is an understatement!
Our steers performed in the weight gain section and excelled in the eating quality, the highlights included:
GLENISA CATTLE CO - 1ST IN CLASS 40
RNA Paddock to Palate Overall Winner
GLENISA CATTLE CO - 2ND IN CLASS 37
JBS Australia RNA Paddock to Palate Overall Winner
GLENISA CATTLE CO - 1ST & 2ND IN CLASS 37C
Zoetis MSA Eating Quality Competition
GLENISA CATTLE CO - 3RD IN CLASS 40C
Coopers Animal Health MSA Eating Quality Competition
Ced Wise, Ben & Sam Lobegeiger and Aline Teixeira attended the awards evening held during the Ekka. We’ve focused on performance in our program and knew we’d be competitive, but to come away with the silverware, well that was something else!
The Wise family would sincerely like to thank the unbelievable team, led by Ben & Sam Lobegeiger. Thank you also to the RNA committee, Beef City Feedlot, Black Box Co, JBS Australia, Zoetis, Coopers Animal Health and the many people and organisations who work tirelessly to ensure the success of this highly regarded industry event.

* Breed average represents the average EBV of all 2023 drop Australian Angus and Angus-influenced seedstock animals analysed in the Mid July 2025 TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation
The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE) is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus infused beef cattle. TACE uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).
TACE includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and New Zealand Angus Association databases to evaluate the genetics of animals across Australia and New Zealand.
TACE analyses are conducted by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI), using beef genetic evaluation software developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).
What is an EBV?
An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values). EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.
Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals
TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).
For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20 kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics). Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).
Using EBVs
the Breed EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals in Australia and New Zealand. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:
• the breed average EBV
• the percentile bands table
The current breed average EBV is listed on the bottom of each page in this publication, while
the current EBV reference tables are included at the end of these introductory notes.
For easy reference, the percentile band in which an animal’s EBV ranks is also published in association with the EBV.
Considering Accuracy
An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.
The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.
EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 7590% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.
Description of TACE EBVs
EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within TACE, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this publication is provided on the following pages.
The following is a brief description of EBVs and $ Index values and Accuracies.
Accuracy (%) – Provides an indication of the reliability of an EBV. As more performance information becomes available on an animal (or it’s progeny, or relatives) then the accuracy of it’s EBVs for particular traits will increase. See Understanding Accuracies for a more detailed explanation.
Calving Ease DIR (%) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their calves from 2 year old heifers to be delivered without assistance.
Calving Ease DTRS (%) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the ability of their 2 year old daughters to calve without assistance.
Gestation Length (Days) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in the number of days from the date of conception to the calf birth date.
Birth Wt (kg) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in calf birth weight.
200-Day Wt (kg) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 200 days of age.
400-Day Wt (kg) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 400 days of age.
600-Day Wt (kg) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in liveweight at 600 days of age.
Mature Cow Weight (kg) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in cow weight at 5 years of age.
Milk (kg) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in milk production, expressed as variation in 200-day weight of daughter’s calves.
Scrotal Size (cm) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in scrotal circumference at 400 days of age.
Days to Calving – Estimates of the genetic differences in female fertility, expressed as the number of days from the start of the joining period until subsequent calving.
Carcase Weight (kg) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in carcase weight, adjusted to 650 days of age.
Eye Muscle Area (cm2) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in eye muscle area at the 12/13th rib site, in a 300kg carcase.
Rib Fat (mm) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the 12/13th rib site, in a 300 kg carcase.
Rump Fat (mm) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the P8 rump site, in a 300kg carcase.
Retail Beef Yield % (RBY%) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in percentage retail beef yield, in a 300kg carcase.
Intra-Muscular Fat % (IMF%) – Estimates of the genetic differences between animals in percentage intra-muscular fat (marbling) at the 12/13th rib site, in a 300 kg carcase.
Net Feed Intake (NFI) – Estimates of the genetic differences in feed intake for animals adjusted to the same growth rate and weight base.
Docility – Genetic differences between animals in temperament.
Foot Angle – Genetic differences in foot angle (strength of pastern, depth of heel).
Claw Set – Genetic differences in claw set structure (shape and evenness of claws).
$A – Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall net profitability in the majority of commercial, self replacing, grass and grain finishing beef production systems.
$A-L – Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall net profitability in the majority of commercial, self replacing, grass and grain finishing beef production systems.
The $A-L index is similar to the $A index but is modelled on a production system where feed is surplus to requirements for the majority of the year, or the cost of supplying additional feed when animal feed requirements increase is low.
While the $A aims to maintain mature cow weight, the $A-L does not aim to limit the increase in mature cow weight as there is minimal cost incurred if the feed maintenance requirements of the female breeding herd increase as a result of selection decisions.

We place big expectations on all our Glenisa females. We require them to go into calf at 12 months of age and calve unassisted. They then must repeat this consistently every year while providing a good milk supply for her calf. By implementing this reproductive pressure, it ensures our herd is highly fertility, well made, structured, with good growth and built and managed with longevity in mind. This draft of heifers is from the heart of the Glenisa commercial herd and are bred to perform.

When purchasing a bull, care and handling after the sale can be as important as the purchase itself. Looking after your bull well during the Initial stages of his working life may ensure longevity and success within your
Temperament is an important characteristic when selecting a bull. Selecting a bull that may be flighty or aggressive will make life difficult for you each time he is handled. Note which bulls continually push to the centre of a mob, run around, or are unreasonably nervous, aggressive or excited. At the sale, note any changes of temperament by individual bulls. Some bulls that are quiet in the yard or paddock may not like the pressure and noise of the auction and become excited. Others that were excited beforehand get much worse in the sale ring and can really perform. Use the yard or paddock behaviour as a guide, rather than the temperament shown in the ring.
When transporting your new bull insurance against loss in transit, accidental loss of use, or infertility, is sometimes provided by vendors. Where it is not,
When purchasing, ask which health treatments he has received. Treat and handle him quietly at all times - no dogs, no buzzers. Talk to him and give him time and room to make up his mind.
With more than one bull from different origins, you must be able to
Make sure that the truck floor is covered to prevent bulls from slipping. Sand, sawdust or a floor grid will prevent bulls from being damaged by
If you can arrange it, put a few quiet cows or steers on the truck with the bull. Let them down into a yard with the bulls for a while before loading

Treat bulls kindly your impatience or nervousness is easily transmitted to an animal unfamiliar to you and unsure of his environment.

Make sure the carrier knows which bulls can be mixed together. Discuss with the carrier, resting procedures for long trips, expected delivery time, truck condition and quiet handling. Give ear tag and brand numbers to the carrier and make sure you have

Provide hay and water, then leave them alone until the next morning. The next day, bulls should receive routine health treatments. If they have not been treated before, all bulls should be vaccinated with:
• leptospirosis vaccine (if in areas like the Hunter where three-day sickness vaccine (if in areas where this sickness can
Give particular attention to preventing new bulls bringing vibriosis into a herd. Vibriosis, a sexually transmitted disease, causes infertility and abortions and is most commonly introduced to a clean herd by an infected bull. These bulls show no signs of the illness. Vaccinated bulls are free from vibriosis, so vaccinating bulls against the disease should be a
Vaccination involves two injections, 4–6 weeks apart, at the time of introduction, and then a booster shot every year. Complete the vaccinations 4 weeks before joining. Consult with your veterinarian and draw up a policy for treating bulls on arrival and then annually. Bulls should be drenched to prevent introducing worms and, if necessary, should be treated for lice. Plan to give follow-up vaccinations 4–6 weeks later.
Leave the bulls in the yards for the next day or two on feed and water to allow them to settle down with other stock for company. A bull’s behaviour will decide how quickly he can be moved out to paddocks.
Newly purchased young bulls should not be placed with older herd bulls for multiple-sire joining. The older, dominant bull will not allow the young bulls to work, and will knock them around while keeping them away from the cows.
Use new bulls in either single-sire groups or with young bulls their own age. If a number of young bulls are to be used together, run them together for a few weeks before joining starts. They sort out their pecking order quickly and have few problems later. When the young bulls are working, inspect them regularly and closely.
Older working bulls also need special care and attention before mating starts. They should be tested or checked every year for physical soundness, testicle tone, and serving capacity or ability.
All bulls to be used must be free-moving, active and in good condition. Working bulls may need supplementary feeding before the joining season to bring up condition.
• Check bulls at least twice each week for the first 2 months. Get up close to them and watch each bull walk; check for swellings around the sheath and for lameness.
• Have a spare bull or bulls available to replace any that break down. Replace any suspect bull immediately.
• Rotate bulls in single-sire groups to make sure that any bull infertility is covered. Single-sire joining works well but it has risks. The bulls must be checked regularly and carefully, or the bulls should be rotated every one or two cycles.
Bulls are a large investment for breeding herds and they have a major effect on herd fertility. A little time and attention to make sure they are fit, free from disease and actively working is well worthwhile.
NORTHERN AUSTRALIA
Although the Angus breed originated in a cooler climate, they can adapt to subtropical regions with many straightbred and cross bred producers finding success in Northern Australia. Some of the following information may also be helpful for new bulls located in more temperate climates.
ADAPTATION
They key to Northern success for Angus is that cattle introduced from the Southern regions of Australia be allowed to adapt to their new environment before commencing their working life. If possible, a break of 3 months is advisable before you set your bull to work.
PURCHASE IN COOLER MONTHS
Ensure your bulls are in good condition before they do commence their working life. The cooler months are an ideal time to purchase and introduce Angus cattle, allowing them plenty of time to acclimatise.
CHANGE OF FEED SOURCE
When inducting Angus cattle into your herd consider their source of feed. Have you taken an animal which has been supplemented on grain straight to a dry pasture? Animals should be gradually changed over to their new feed to ensure they do not lose condition. This may involve using supplements which could include dry lick/urea blocks.
MANAGING CATTLE TICKS
For ticky areas, bulls should be vaccinated prior to transport and given another booster afterwards. Remember males are more susceptible to ticks than females.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: All bids shall be treated as offers made upon the following Terms and Conditions of Sale and all persons present are admitted to attend the sale on the basis that they have notice of these Terms and Conditions.
1. The highest bidder shall, subject to Condition 2, be the Purchaser provided that the Vendor reserves the right to bid either by himself or through his Agent or Auctioneer and should any dispute arise among the bidders for any lot, during or immediately after the sale of the lot, it shall be settled at the Auctioneers absolute discretion who may, should one of the disputants advance, put the lot or lots up again. The bidding from time to time shall be regulated by the Auctioneer and no bid shall be retracted.
2. The sale will be conducted on a “Sale” or “No Sale” basis whereby the lot for sale shall be knocked down to the highest bidder, but the sale will be subject to the acceptance of the highest bid by the Vendor who will immediately after the fall of the hammer declare “Sale” or “No Sale”. Should the Vendor reject the bid of the highest bidder such bidder will have the right of first refusal of the lot at the Vendor’s nominated price for one hour after the lot has been passed out of the ring on the Terms and Conditions herein set forth in so far as they shall apply.
3. The details of the Purchaser, the purchase price and the lot sold as recorded by the sale clerk for and on behalf of the Auctioneer shall be equally binding on both Purchaser and Vendor.
4. The Auctioneer expressly reserves the right, without giving any reasons therefore, to:
(a) Refuse to acknowledge any bid;
(b) Withdraw any lot or lots before or during the sale;
(c) Exclude any person from the auction venue should it think fit.
5. Each lot in all cases shall be at the risk and expense of the Purchaser upon acceptance of his bid by the Vendor or upon acceptance of the highest bidder’s offer by the Vendor whichever shall be the earlier.
6. Except as expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions of Sale no guarantee or warranty shall be given in respect of any lot sold under these Conditions as to pedigree, sex, age, breeding condition or otherwise howsoever, and no guarantee, warranty or condition whatsoever shall be implied from any affirmation made before or at the time of the sale, or from any circumstances of the sale, but in all cases where a guarantee is intended the same shall attach and be enforceable only if reduced to writing before delivery of the lot and signed by the Vendor or by the Auctioneer acting as agent for the Vendor, and the absence of such writing shall be conclusive evidence in case of dispute that no guarantee, warranty or condition whatsoever was given or implied.
7. In the event of any dispute in respect to the sale of any lot:
(i) The Purchaser shall nevertheless be obliged to pay to the Auctioneer the full purchase price and any other monies or interest payable by the Purchaser in accordance with these terms and conditions;
(ii) The Vendor and the Purchaser shall resolve the dispute between themselves;
(iii) The Auctioneer shall have no liability or responsibility in regard to the dispute; and (iv) No lot shall be returned to the Auctioneer and the Purchaser shall indemnify the Auctioneer for all costs, expenses and damages which the Auctioneer is put to or incurs by reason of the Purchaser so doing.
8. The name of the Vendor for whom the Auctioneer acts is acknowledged to have been furnished to Purchasers prior to the sale and further particulars will in all cases be furnished to a Purchaser if required. In the case of any disputes the remedy of the Purchaser shall be against the Vendor only and in no case or under any circumstances against the Auctioneer who is to be regarded for all intents and purposes as agent for a disclosed principal.
9. (a) PAYMENT — Unless prior credit arrangements have been made in writing with the Auctioneer the full purchase price for each lot shall be due and payable to the Auctioneer in cash upon acceptance of the highest bid or the highest bidder’s offer by the Vendor and prior to delivery. Notwithstanding that delivery is given to or possession obtained by the purchaser or his representative prior to the payment of the purchase money in full the property in any lot which is sold shall not pass to the Purchaser until the full purchase price and all cheques, promissory notes, bills of exchange, acceptance orders or drafts given in connection with such payment have been paid and liquidated, and until property shall pass, the Purchaser shall hold such lot as bailee, provided that in all cases should such payment not have been made and liquidated within 14 days of the date of the sale the Auctioneer reserves the right to:—
(i) Rescind the contract on behalf of the Vendor and repossess and resell any lot;
(ii) Recover from the Purchaser interest upon the purchase price at a rate per annum which aggregates the AMBA Bill Rate plus two percentum. For the purposes of this condition, the expression “the AMBA Bill Rate” is the rate published by the Australian Merchant Bankers Association in good faith as at the date of the sale as its bill rate for 180 day bills of exchange expressed as a percentage per annum. If at any time the AMBA Bill Rate becomes unavailable for any reason, the Auctioneer shall determine and advise the Purchaser of the interest rate to apply for the purposes of this condition.
(b) The Auctioneer is selling as the del credere agent of the Vendor and the full purchase price of any lot sold shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Auctioneer and be fully recoverable by the Auctioneer in its own name.
10. If the Purchaser shall neglect or fail to comply with any of the within conditions, any lot purchased by him may be immediately resold by public auction or private contract, with or without notice, at the risk of the former Purchaser, who will be held responsible for all loss and expenses arising out of such resale, and shall not participate in any profit accruing therefrom. 11. Any Vendor or Purchaser removing the sale number from any lot after it has been sold will fully indemnify all affected parties for any loss, costs or damage should the lot be wrongly delivered.
12. The Purchasers, if any more than one, shall be jointly and severally bound by these Terms and Conditions, and shall jointly and severally carry out and perform same.
13. Any person who advances a bid on a lot shall do so on the expressed condition and understanding that should that person’s bid be the highest bid and such bid is accepted by the Vendor, then that person will be held personally liable for the price so agreed upon, regardless of the fact that that person may be acting on behalf of another party, either disclosed or undisclosed to the Vendor or Auctioneer, provided however, that this Condition shall not in any way negate the Vendor’s right to claim against any principal and in such case the bidder’s liability shall be construed to be by way of guarantee.
14. The Auctioneer may, should it think fit, make arrangements on a Purchaser’s behalf for the feeding, watering, trucking, shipping of and general attendance to any lot after sale but no responsibility will be accepted by the Auctioneer and all such service will be at the Purchaser’s risk and expense.
15. No lot will be delivered until the sales invoice has been checked and signed by the Purchaser or his duly authorised representative.
16. (a) Each lot in all cases shall be sold with all faults, if any, and excepting those conditions and warranties implied by the Trade Practices Act or any applicable State legislation which cannot be contractually excluded and excepting conditions and warranties expressly contained in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, any express or implied condition, statement of warranty, statutory or otherwise, is hereby excluded. The Auctioneer is not liable in respect of any error, misdescription or omission in any particulars appearing or stated regarding the description of pedigrees of any lot offered for sale and no such error, misdescription of omission shall entitle the Purchaser to annul the sale or reject the lot or claim any compensation, damage or abatement in price.
(b) Each lot will be sold subject to passing all veterinary tests required by the law of the state or country to which the Purchaser intends to transport that particular lot, such tests to be
undertaken at the Purchaser’s expense and concluded immediately following the sale. In the event of a lot failing to pass these tests, the sale shall be null and void, any purchase moneys paid by the Purchaser shall be refunded and property in the lot shall revert to or remain with the Vendor.

(1) BULLS - Save and except for calves at foot, all bulls are guaranteed breeders and to so prove by the later of:
(a) six months after the date of sale or
(b) the animal reaching the age of 24 months
(3) Claims under Clauses 17(1) and 17(2). A claim that an animal has failed to satisfy a guarantee of fertility under Clause 17(1) or 17(2) must be made to the Vendor within the relevant guarantee period but prior to the animal entering a quarantine area other than on the Vendor’s property.
(a) All claims must be accompanied by a certificate from a registered veterinarian surgeon in accordance with the guidelines established by the Australian Association of Cattle Veterinarians which must clearly identify the basis of the claim.
(b) Subject to Clause 17(9), infertility resulting from injury or disease occurring after the sale of the animal is not covered by this guarantee.
(c) The Vendor retains the right to have the animal placed on a property nominated by him or returned to his own property for further assessment of fertility for a period not exceeding six months. If the animal proves fertile within the period such status must be confirmed by a certificate issued by a registered veterinary surgeon in accordance with the guideline established by the Australian Association of Cattle Veterinarians and costs incurred must be borne by the Purchaser. If the animal is not proven fertile within the period, the costs incurred must be borne by the Vendor.
(4) LIABILITY OF A VENDOR - Except for costs defined elsewhere in the conditions of sale, the liability of a Vendor in respect of claims relating to fertility shall not exceed the purchase price of the animal(s) or provide mutually agreed upon replacement animal(s).
(5) In the event of a claim being substantiated:
(a) The purchase price shall be refunded within 14 days unless a mutually agreed upon replacement animal has been provided.
(b) The animal/s which are the subject of the claim shall automatically become the property of the Vendor and be returned to him or disposed of according to his instruction at his expense.
(6) Subject to Clause 17(9), this guarantee is of no effect if:
(a) The animal is returned to the Vendor.
(i) In poor physical condition or with any injury;
(ii) Tests carried out on behalf of the Vendor within fourteen days of such return proved positive to any diseases which may affect the animal’s fertility or ability to breed naturally; or
(b) The Purchaser has collected and stored semen from a bull.
(7) In the event of a dispute as to whether a lot is a breeder, such dispute shall be resolved by the Vendor and the Purchaser. The Auctioneer, while he will use his best endeavours to assist, shall have no liability or responsibility in that regard. If an animal is alleged or proved not to be a breeder, the Purchaser must nevertheless pay the Auctioneer the full purchase price and any other monies or interest payable by the Purchaser in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.
(8) EVIDENCE OF FERTILITY — A Certificate issued by a registered veterinary surgeon at or before the time of sale than an animal is fertile (unless it is a certificate stating in respect of a female that she is in calf at the time of sale) does not, of itself, satisfy or discharge the Vendor’s obligations under the guarantee of fertility given under this Clause 17. All animals, except calves at foot, must prove their fertility within the relevant guarantee period.
(9) RELIEF FROM GUARANTEE — If the Vendor seeks to be relieved from the obligations which would otherwise be imposed upon him by this clause by virtue of Clauses 17(3)(b) or 17(6)(a), the onus of proof is upon the Vendor to establish that:
(a) The animal suffered the injury or disease or is in poor physical condition due to circumstances and events occurring after the sale, and
(b) The injury, disease of physical condition is the sole cause of the animal’s infertility or failure to prove fertility within the guarantee period.
(10) DEFINITION — For the purpose of this Clause 17, the expression “guarantee period” means: (a) in relation to bulls — the period specified in Clause 17(1) as being the period in which the bull must prove his fertility; and 17. (a) Each lot shall be at the risk of the Vendor in respect of any damage or injury, whether by disease, accident or otherwise, or whether caused by the negligence of the Auctioneer for the period that the lot be in the custody of the Auctioneer, unless such lots shall have been sold in which latter case such lot shall be at the risk of the Purchaser in all such respects.
(b) If any Vendor brings to the sale premises any lot which is dangerous, or infected with any disease, that Vendor shall be liable for all injury, damages, costs, losses or expenses which the Auctioneer may sustain, incur or be put to either directly or indirectly as a result of the Vendor so doing. The Auctioneer reserves the right, at its absolute discretion, to exclude from the sale, or put out of the sale venue or dispose of, any lot which in its opinion shows signs of any disease, whether infectious, contagious or not, or of any serious fault or of being dangerous.
18. DELIVERY — Except at the discretion of the Auctioneer no lot shall be delivered to the Purchaser unless payment of the purchase money together with any additional charges incurred including those expenses incurred by the Auctioneer pursuant to Condition 14 hereof, is first made by the Purchaser to the Auctioneer. Release of lots may be withheld by the Auctioneer until personal cheques are cleared.

(a) References to “Auctioneer” shall be taken to mean as the context so admits, the Selling Agent or any member, subsidiary or related corporation or body, officer, agent or employee thereof, authorised by the Vendor to conduct the sale of the lot;
(b) “Purchaser” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in Condition 1;
(c) “Vendor” shall mean the person or corporation upon whose account lots are offered for sale and where a stud or farm is named shall mean the proprietor of that stud or farm;
