Annual Sales

In September we’re offering a premium selection of 155 bulls at two venues over two days.  Both studs will be represented at both venues.  We have selected the sale teams from a draft of 400 bulls.

On September 19, the 51st Eidsvold Station Sale, will be held at the Elders Saleyards at Eidsvold.  An impressive line-up of ninety bulls and 65 Eidsvold Station heifers that have been bred to a selection of Greenup Sires will be offered by unreserved auction. 

Tuesday September 23 will see the launch of the Greenup Inaugural On-Property Sale.  This will be held at ‘Cardowan’, Kumbia in the morning before the Rosevale Sale.  

Come and join us for a champagne breakfast before you check out the draft of sixty-five select sires and two quality horses, bred and trained by Rick Greenup.  

The entire catalogue of bulls and horses will be offered by unreserved auction.

Commercial Success

The Eidsvold Station cattle's depth of breeding shone out at the Eidsvold Show on May 4th.  The show was hotly contested from a large field of Santa Studs and commercial cross-bred cattle.  Eidsvold Station was once again awarded the Most Successful Exhibitor AND Champion Carcase of the show. 

Our 18-month old purebred Santas in the trial averaged 2.24 kg/head/day for 100 days, after being run on pasture since weaning, to average 630 kg, which was $1320.00 per head – a nice return for 18 month old steers. Thirteen of the top fifteen weight gainers in the Show’s feedlot trial were Eidsvold Station steers. Once again the pure-bred Eidsvold Station Santa Gertrudis proved themselves superior in the feedlot, meatworks, weight for age and finishing ability, resulting in a very profitable animal.

In August, a number of Greenup Eidsvold Station steers will complete 100 days of grain feeding at Morgans’ feedlot and head to the Brisbane EKKA.   They have settled in and are doing well.  We are excited about our entries in the Prime Cattle Section; keep your eyes out for them if you’re down there.
