Welcome

Welcome to our inaugural Goondoola Trade Secret Genetic Auction!

Goondoola Livestock is a family run operation owned by Paul and Sue Powe along with their daughters Nicole, Hannah and their families. Established in the early 1980s breeding solely Murray Grey cattle, Goondoola diversified into Red Angus in 2009 and hasn’t looked back since.

We are proud to be offering our first set of genetic packages, including semen and embryos from sires and donors that we have built our breeding program on or have selected to bring to the Australian market.

Thank you for taking interest in our operation and we hope you can find something that suits your needs.

Society Registrations

All donors and sires are registered with the Red Angus Society of Australia and/or the Angus Society of Australia. Please contact us for more information regarding this.

Note: Lot 5 embryos will likely result in black coated animals (sired by a black Angus bull).

Delivery And Transport

All embryos and semen are stored at Holbrook Breeders. All shipping and freight insurance is to be covered by the purchaser. We will endeavour to have releases completed on lots as soon as payment is received. Every year Goondoola continues to offer a 5% discount for junior members that purchase animals or genetic lots at various sales across the country.

We strongly believe in encouraging the next generation to become involved in the Red Angus breed and more widely the beef industry. By offering this discount to our industry’s youth, we hope we can provide an opportunity to support and inspire the upcoming breeders in their future endeavours.

Hannah is forever grateful for the junior career and the opportunities she has had, and because of this, if there are any other ways we can help at an event through supplying ballot animals or heifers for paraders, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Embryo Lots

We understand the importance of strong, maternal lines of breeding in operations whether it be stud stock or commercial cattle, and we endeavour to consistently ensure we are striving for the best.

The embryo packages we have put together in this sale are from the donors we own here in Australia as well as in Canada.

They resemble what we like to see in females within our breeding herd; functionality, productivity and they are consistently breeding as good if not better than they are. We are consistently looking for new outcross bloodlines that suit our criteria, and a number of these can be found in the following lots.

All guarantees on embryo packages are stated in the sale information section at the front of the catalogue.
