Extract from The Land 16/09/10
Strong Interest from Queensland pushed this year's Weebollabolla sale, held last Friday at Moree, to a top of $17,000 to average $4435 for 109 bulls sold of the 114 offered with 4 being sold after the sale.

The sale hit the big figures early on with the first lot,Weebollabolla Dubbo D36, hitting $10,000, then $16,000 at lot four for Weebollabolla Doonkami D145, and then $17,000 at lot six for Weebollabolla Delegate D86.

Delegate D86, a July 2008-drop son of Weebollabolla Waratah W26, was the heaviest in the sale at 900 kilograms, and with plenty of style and softness caught the eye of Les Redman and his mother, Dot, from 'Wattamolla', Mitchell, Queensland. Mr Redman liked the bull's hindquarter, growth for age and temperament and said it would be a handy addition to their herd of 350 head of Shorthorn breeders they will join this year.

Co-vendor, Jen Munro, said she was very pleased with the result and thought it was great to see both new and repeat buyers taking home bulls. She was also pleased with the quality they offered which was seen as value for money by some of the buyers, who bought more than they initially planned to due to the reasonable prices.
