Ponderosa Brahman Bull Sale 2010
Traditionally, the Ponderosa Brahman Bull Sale is held in Katherine, Northern Territory (NT), However, it is heavily supported by Queensland-based studs, particularly the Raglan Brahman Stud (Raglan, QLD) and Viva Brahman Stud (Middlemount, QLD), which frequently transport large drafts of bulls to Katherine for this event.
The 2010 Milestone: The 2010 sale would have been approximately the 11th Annual Ponderosa Brahman Bull Sale, given that the 16th was held in 2015 and the 20th in 2019.
During this period (2010–2012), the Australian Brahman Breeders Association reported a total bull average of approximately $4,332 with a gross value of over $14 million for the industry.
