In what was a great endorsement for market focused quality Murray Greys, the Lindsay Murray Grey Stud at Pigeon Ponds recorded a fantastic result at its annual production sale held for the first time at the studs’ home base.
In the breakdown 28 of 31 bulls sold to four states for a top of $12000 and an excellent average of $6,964. 6 of 6 stud heifers sold to a top of $3,000 to average $2,400 and 22 outstanding PTIC commercial heifers topped at $2,100 to average $1,995.
Competition was fierce on the top bulls with 6 bulls selling for between $10,000 and $12,000. What was also pleasing for vendors Craig and Jacinta Grant was that 11 bulls sold for between $4,000 and $5,000 which equated to good value amongst the quality line up.
Lot 2 was the sale topper at $12,000 and was one of some highly sought after Gobblin G15 sons. He was purchased by regular supporter Nostones Murray Grey Stud, Gulargamebone NSW. Another Gobblin son Lindsay Kahlua K32 made $11,500 for a ¾ share and full possession to Andrew and Sharon Gunn, Mundalola Murray Greys at Tamworth NSW.
Lot 5 Lindsay Komodo K49 & Lot 6 Lindsay Kalahari K34 both sold for $11,000 and sold to Tony Larussa WA and BA & DJ Paxton Kangaroo Island SA respectively.

Volume buyers were Cavanagh P/ship securing 4 top bulls and Tony Larussa WA picking up 3 high quality sires.
In the stud heifers section the top price of $3,000 was achieved twice for Lot 37 Lindsay Leanne K40 to Nostones Murray Greys and Lot 40 Lindsay Glenise K46 which sold to Ben Thorn Strathalbyn SA.
