Greenup Santas to Record $27,500

By Peter Lowe, QCL

A CAPACITY crowd witnessed Greenup Downpour D4(P) attract the $27,500 record top price at Rick and Alice Greenup’s second annual Greenup Santa Gertrudis on-property sale, Cardowan, Kumbia last Tuesday.

Greenup Downpour D4(P), a 21-month-old son of Greenup Ability A80 with a lifetime daily gain of 1.09kg, EMA 118 and a scrotal circumference of 39cm, was secured by Ms Mackay, against fierce competition from a number of studs seeking his doing ability and fresh genetics on both the paternal and maternal sides.

The $27,500 record-priced Greenup Downpour D4(P) was bought by Celia Mackay, Celamba stud, Woodlands, Wandoan.

“Downpour is an example of the calibre of bulls that we are striving for and highlights the raft of new genetics that is emerging through our female herd and committed investment in sires.”  Mr Greenup said.

The new sires left a mark on the sale with six sons of Greenup Ability averaging $7833 and seven sons of Gyranda Atom selling to average $4928. Greenup co-principal Rick Greenup said Downpour is an exciting sire prospect with a lot of growth, muscle and performance, but his tremendous softness gives G Downpour the ability to lay down fat at an early age. 

“He (Greenup Downpour) took my eye for his sire appeal, clean tropical coat, structural soundness and clean poll head,” Celia Mackay said.

“His well-balanced EBVs will complement my breeders, in addition to his excellent sheath, natural thickness and great length-of –body with a good, deep hindquarter which completes the package,” she said.

“Greenup Downpour has complete outside genetics to the popular poll bloodlines available today,” she added.

The outstanding poll prospect will be used over selected Yarrawonga and Waco , Warenda, Gyranda, Wightfields, Tara , Santa Park, Rosevale, Eidsvold Station and Five Ace stud females bought over the past few years   

Around 300 people converged at the Greenup’s unique outdoor sale amphitheatre to bid enthusiastically on the genetic quality of the young draft of fertile bulls with an average age of 22 months.

Joint selling agents Elders and Grant Daniel and Long Pty Ltd sold 24 S bulls for a $5563 average, 11 herd bulls for a $2909 average and two quarter horses at $9250 and $7000.

Commercial beef producers Ian, Ben and Jack Michelmore, Fort Cooper , Nebo paid $9000 for Greenup Don Juan D122, an early maturing son of Greenup Yankee W760(P) which displayed a strong, powerful hindquarter, great length and a well-angled trim sheath.

Volume buyers included Andrew and Lauren Winks, Woolerine Grazing, Bollon, who bought six bulls to average $2916 and Dan Lawton, Lawton and Lawton, Brachenburgh, Winton who secured fours bulls for a $4500 average.

Interstate visitors John and Glen Hazleby, Biara Santa Gertrudis stud, Northampton , Western Australia bid $6500 for one of the youngest bulls in the draft, Greenup Doo-Hicky D136(P), a twenty month old son of impact sire Gyranda Atom – one of the first to be offered for sale. 

Return clients Steve and Jodie Pratt, Somerset Pastoral Company, Kilcoy secured premium genetics at both ends of the sale after buying Greenup Diesel D74(P), a soft-doing son of Swan Hill Handyman(PS) for $8000 and the prestigious Kyabra Cattle Baron six-year-old bay mare in Greenup Silverleaf for the $9250 top money.

Greenup Revelation, a six-year-old chestnut mare by resident sire in Greenup Double Trouble attracted the $7000 winning bid from Stuart and Joy Hamilton of Eidsvold.

Greenup principals Rick and Alice Greenup have enjoyed a remarkable run of sales selling a total of 92 bulls for a $4150 average between their two sales, Greenup and Eidsvold Station, over a five day period.

Enjoying a well earned cold one after the Greenup Sale. Thanks guys.
