Buyers from throughout the country registered and bidding was brisk. The auctioneers were Hobson & Co of Grahamstown.

The total dispersal sale of Tom van Rensberg’s Spekboom Tuli Stud held on Tuesday, 20 October in Paterson proved once again the growing popularity of the breed.

Buyers from throughout the country registered and bidding was brisk. The auctioneers were Hobson & Co of Grahamstown.

The auction ran like clockwork and the highest price achieved was for Lot 35, a cow with a calf at foot, which fetched R36 000. She was sold to Eagles View Tulis.

Seven other females fetched more than R20 000 each. The bulls were also in demand, and lot 16 sold for R28 000 to Alwyn Marx of Burgersdorp. The year old bulls also sold well with the highest price paid being R13 000.

 Description                             Highest price                   Average price
 Cows and calves                         R36 000                         R17 636
 Cows                                        R27 000                         R11 045
 Pregnant heifers                      R22 000                        R14 625
 Heifers (running with bull)        R 8 000                            R 6 875
 Weaner Heifers                        R18 000                        R 7 772
 One year old bulls                     R13 000                       R  8 928
 Bulls                                       R28 000                         R18 250
Paul Hobson of Hobson & Co expressed his satisfaction at the outcome of the sale, and said he was excited about the future of the beef industry, and the livestock business in general.

The Hobson & Co auctions have been good throughout the year as there is a shortage in the meat markets. Once general rains have fallen the breeding stock market should also improve.
