2025 will see our 18th annual bull sale change to an online sale only on AuctionsPlus. The Sale will open on Thursday 21st August at 10.00am when we will open the gates for inspection of the bulls.

The Online Sale will then conclude with the final countdown clock running from 1.00pm on Friday 22nd August.

We will be offering our 2023 “U” Spring drop bulls and a run of 2024 “V” Autumn drop bulls, registered and recorded with Performance Herds Australia (PHA) Ltd. PHA consists of a group of progressive seed-stock breeders recording pedigree and performance of progeny from Shorthorn and Shorthorn cross females, with all data collected analysed in the ABRI Breedplan system, designed for Australian production systems and conditions. PHA represents some of the oldest and largest Shorthorn herds in the Country.

Preparation of the bulls we offer..

All sale bulls are fully vaccinated and presented in good working order ready to give our clients the trouble-free service we aim to produce them for. We are pleased with the responses we continually receive from successful purchasers with regard to the way Turanville bulls go to work and importantly the progeny they produce. This year’s draft is as usual fully prepared on crop with no grain feeding.

Breedplan & Genetics

At Turanville the bulls are left in as large a contemporary group as possible in order to measure their data and utilise Breedplan to help identify more predictable animals, with the genetic mix to drive the commercial breeder’s profit.
Turanville genetics have gained a reputation for performing well in numerous carcase competitions over the years. These results, along with the continued feedback from feedlots and MSA kill sheets all help us to measure the important commercial performance of our cattle and identify the bloodlines that best suit market requirements. Turanville have also been supplying purebred Shorthorns into the JBS Great Southern Farm Assured (grass fed) programme. A draft of cull heifers in October 2024 processed for this programme showed the consistent results achieved with Turanville genetics – 30 head av. Weight 303kg dressed, with an average Rib fat of 10ml and multiple marble scores as high as 3 and 4 off grass giving the mob an average index of 61.29.

Durham Red Bulls.

Our 2025 sale draft will include Durham Reds (Red Angus cross) again this year with some attractive low birth weight heifer bulls. This year will again see sons of Talooby Red Quantum Q745 offered. This exciting sire had outstanding raw data when offered at the Talooby Spring 21 Sale and saw him achieve the top price black or red bull on the day. He is sired by the imported H2R Profitbuilder B403 who is a trait leader in the Red Angus database for 200,400, and 600DW along with being in the top 10% for IMF
