Demand and the momentum for quality seedstock is not waning after the results of last week’s inaugural Karragarra Simmental sale at Emerald.

The last Simmental sale of the year proved a gold mine for vendors Wayne and Ingrid York, posting an Australian Simmental breed record for a sale average when the fixture produced a phenomenal medium of $12,947.
