Comments:  Strong support from both new and repeat buyers at the Spring Bull and Female sale for Wirruna Poll Herefords saw a 100% clearance and average prices up $1000 from last year.

According to stud principal, Ian Locke: "The strength of this Spring sale was similar to our Autumn sale. It was very obvious that buyers are chasing bulls that show both calving ease and curve bending growth or top rate carcases. It was pleasing to see some new sale participants seeking to tap into Wirruna's very strong commercially orientated genetic program.
