THURSDAY March 7 will see the McIntyres, John and Bev and son and daughter-in-law Andrew and Jenna of Chateau Limousins hold their 10th annual on-property sale held at Londrigan just outside Wangaratta.
With a breeding focus on cattle that are soft coated, easy doing, structurally sound and docile while maintaining market relevance this year's offering of 24 bulls is no exception.
With 22 of the sires being polled including six homozygous polled combined with eight black bulls of which three are homozygous black there is a large selection of sires that can be bought for those targeting specific traits, with eight bulls being suitable to use on heifers.
This year's draft will feature sons of previous top price sale bulls in New Generation N79 and Matador M51 and the first sons of Qualification Q66 who was Grand Champion Bull at the 2021 Limousin National selling for $18,500.
Progeny from some of Chateau's newly introduced imported sires including Balamore Endeavour a calving ease specialist and TREF Hardcore a bull that is full of power, growth and muscle, will also be available.
