The growing popularity of the Charbray breed shone in Rockhampton on Wednesday for the national sale, with bull prices reaching a top of $26,000 and an average of $7186 for an 87 per cent clearance through the ring.
Fetching this year's top price of $26,000 was 25-month-old dehorned bull Wattlebray Navman, offered by Trevor and Lolita Ford, Wattlebray Charbrays, Chinchilla and bought by Chas and Judy Nobbs' Cordelia Brahman and Charbray Stud, Bauhinia.
The son of Huntington Lovell from Wattlebray 450/5 weighed in at 890kg with P8 and rib fat of 13mm and 12mm, an eye muscle area of 138 sq cm and a 45cm scrotal circumference.
The Wattlebray draft averaged $7807, selling 13 out of 15 bulls. Wattlebray Charbrays also sold the 2018 top price $24,000 bull.
Mr Ford said they were very proud of their results and to see Wattlebray Navman get the top money.
"He was a good bull but we probably didn't expect it given the seasonal conditions at the moment," he said.
"He's going to a good home with Chas and Judy Nobbs, we look forward to seeing his progeny at their sale in Moura in years to come."
Mr Ford said the overall results of the sale were also very pleasing.
"It shows the breed's going in the right direction," he said.
"The breed needs to do well for individual studs to do well."
The second top price of the day was $14,000 for Greenfields Noah (P), offered by Les and Anne Marshall, Greenfields Charbrays, Jambin and bought by Angus Carter and Caroline Green, Jaccondoll, Barcaldine.
The 21-month-old son of Greenfields Harry from Greenfields 10-761 weighed 806kg with P8 and rib fat of 9mm and 6mm, a 125 sq cm EMA and a 39cm scrotal circumference.
Charbray Society of Australia's newly appointed president Matt Welsh said he was pleased with the results of this year's sale.
"From a breeder and a breed society perspective it was a very solid result," he said.
"There was good commercial support but also seedstock operators there looking for that bull that's going to drive them to the next level.
"It has been a tight year and to have that confidence in the breed is really great."
Mr Welsh said the growing consistency in the Charbray breed was on display in the sale ring and it was reflected in what buyers were willing to pay.
"We're getting more and more consistency in the Charbray cattle and the phenotype of the animal," he said.

2019 Kilcoy Show & Carcass Challenge
Diamond L were super proud to announce their recent results from the Kilcoy Show and Carcass Challenge. From 8 head including 1 pair show results were 3 firsts, 2 seconds and 1 third. These cattle received a Reserve Champion steer section and crowned Champion Grain Fed Heifer. 4 head sold on the day averaged over $2,200/hd. Fast forward to the carcass side of the competition. In a history making moment, Diamond L took first place in the heifer section and first place in a three way tie in the steer section. Something never achieved by a breeder in the same year. This is a true testament to our cattle. Congrats to the organisers and other competitors in this event. Bulls available for sale year round.
Congratulations Diamond L Charbrays, Greg & Tracey Lee
