After a couple years break the first Alma calf since 2016 hit the ground last week. A heifer calf by Vale View Casper 2. It’s a good feeling to be back breeding Droughtmaster cattle again. A big thank you to Rob Brown and Greg and Sharon Harms for your help in getting started again.

After the insane pace of the last 4 months things are beginning to slow up. Everything is falling into place, 13th of January is our last day at Alma. Hard to explain how we feel, there is the excitement of a new home and a less stressful existence, but definitely tinged with sadness leaving our home and the wonderful world of stud cattle. Both of us are looking forward to retirement and what it holds.

16/11/2016

Now that all of the excitement of the sale is over it is time to reflect on the week's events. We were completely blown away with the result on Saturday and feel very humble that people showed such confidence in our cattle. We were very proud of what we put up at the sale and would like to sincerely thank everyone who attended and everyone who placed a bid, either succesfully or unsuccessfully. We wish you all success with your purchases and may you achieve top prices with our bloodlines wherever you choose to sell. Sincere thanks to all. Stanley and Lesley

The Droughtmaster Foundation Stud of Alma was dispersed on the weekend at the Dalby Saleyards to a strong gallery of leading studs who had gathered from as far afield as North Queensland and into NSW.

With the first Alma registered female 'Alma 1' registered with the Australian Tropical Breeder's Association in February 1957, this sale saw the culmination of nearly 60 years of quality Droughtmaster pedigrees to go under the hammer.

The sale saw a total dispersal of both the Alma Brahman and the Alma Droughtmaster Herds.

100% clearance of all the cattle to see 177 Lots average $3,455
37 Droughtmaster Bulls averaged $5,250

Today's photos, very hard to get individuals in the paddock, better luck next week, they should all be in the Alma yards. If any one wants to inspect before the sale, any time after Saturday and before Thursday would be good.
