Thirty joined Angus yearling heifers from Hydillowah are also up for grabs.
The Hydillowah Angus breeding program joins 1100 breeders and the excellent line-up of 14-16mo bulls and heifers are selected for traits they look for in their own herd - conformation, structurally sound, ability to walk freely and quiet temperament.
Bloodlines in this year's sale team include Mordallup Renown, SAV Rainfall and Networth and Stockman bloodline Hydillowah bulls.
The bulls are all semen tested and vaccinated with 7in1 and for Vibriosis.
Hydillowah livestock manager Claire Green said regular handling and socialising of the bulls ensured their temperament and adjustment to being handled and yarded.
"Our stock are bred and raised in an environment that allows them to perform in a variety of conditions," Ms Green said.
"The heifers we have available are surplus to our own requirements and chosen for the same qualities as our bulls."
The 14-16mo heifers have been running with low birthweight Millah Murrah Paratrooper and SAV Rainfall bloodline Hydillowah bulls since May 14, 2023 and are due to calve from February 20.
Ms Green said the heifers were vaccinated with 7in1 and backlined with Dectomax - and would make a great addition to any herd.
