Today’s final sale for the year culminated in a new world record top price of $75,000 paid for a Speckle Park female, when Wattle Grove P503 Cara S101 went under the hammer.
Despite being the final live lot of the day, it was no surprise that the eye-catching female quickly spurred a bidding frenzy as she was the first daughter of the $68,000 world record top-priced bull, Wattle Grove Paperboy P503. She was out of Wattle Grove Cara P752 and was Dale’s pick of the heifers.
“Wow” was the only word needed to describe the day.
The top semen package was purchased by online buyer Stephen Ariss, Temple Mount Farm, Woodend North, Victoria, who last year bought the $68,000 Paperboy P503.
