'Megatron' bull fetches top price
Posted
A bull named FBC Megatron Manso has sold for a top price of $60,000 at this year's Brahman Week bull sale in Rockhampton in central Queensland.
It is the largest bull sale in Australia and has attracted more than 200 vendors from around Australia.
Will Fenech from Fenech Brahmans at Craigleigh, near Wowan, south-west of Rockhampton, says it is bitter sweet to see his bull fetch the top price.
"We took him to [the] Marlborough Brahman Feature show and he won grand champion there and supreme interbreed," he said.
"He did really well at Beef Week.
"We would've loved to have kept the bull but we had a lot of interest in him, so we decided to sell but we kept a semen share."
Mr Fenech says he was surprised his bull sold for the top price.
"He's an IVF embryo - we've sold three half brothers to him, two other $60,000 bulls and another [for $35,000]," he said.
"My daughter broke him in February last year and she showed him at junior beef last year and a lot of people have watched this bull in progress with his growing pattern."
The sale wraps up today.
- steady Mr Will Fenech. What a breed kekeh...kehkeh... $60,000/7 = $8571.50 ( RM 21,428.60*/ 1 bahagian) Kalau nak buat korbanlah.
*AUSD 1 = RM 2.45
