The line up of Bulls  offered on the day were of exceptional Quality and finish, with an excellently prepared sale yard and cattle complex on property at Gowrie Charleville, one of the only on property bull sales in South West Queensland, making this particular sale so practical and handy to local cattle buyers. Gowrie Stud Principal Noel Mobbs, says “the cattle market and beef grower are continuing to discover the great advantage of the Simbrah, with speedy weight gain, big boned and beefy cattle with the double cross of hardy, well doing breeding offered by the Simmental and Brahman. When it comes down to the bottom line of kilograms per carcass the Simbrah pays the grower again and again, with heavy weights returned for each beast. We have been breeding Simbrahs for 27 years and have never looked back , trusting in these cattle to give us great weights at the market place, hanging on even under the duress of drought and climatic hardship”.

Next years sale will again be held in September and all at Gowrie look forward to preparing another great line up of bulls and invite the discerning cattle grower to come along and take advantage of the Gowrie Simbrah and Simmental genetics.
