To say we had some concerns leading up to the sale is an understatement. Six weeks out from the sale and with no break in the drought we were asking ourselves if we should be going ahead.
And then it rained! and for some it didn’t stop. The market responded and we thought we may just get away with it. The crowd of over 350 people all agreed that we made the right decision. It was an awesome night!
Luke Dickens provided the perfect musical backdrop for those inspecting the cattle.
Steakhouse 48 provided perfect sustenance and the WG crew kept the drinks flowing late into the night.
