Area Charolais bull sale goes well Calvin Daniels Yorkton This Week Neilson Cattle
Company hosted its annual Charolais bull sale at the farm near Willowbrook
on March 23. Joanne Neilson reported that while only a
small group of potential buyers registered on-site there was brisk bidding from online bidders, (the sale was viewable via the web), and via telephone bids. In the end Neilson termed the sale “one of our best” with all 31 bulls
on offer sold, for an average of $5,529. High volume buyer was Matador Pasture which picked up five bulls over the telephone. Two bulls tied as the high sellers of the sale. The first went to Marcus B a u e r o f C a l d e r, w h o
bought ‘NCC Cadillac 68F’ for $7,000. Then R&S Wlock of Fenwood bought ‘NCC Legend 7F’ also for $7,000. “The sale was very steady with lots of action,” said Neilson. “We were very happy for all the support.”
