We are incredibly grateful for the strong interest shown throughout the sale, with support received from both existing and new clients.

We'd like to thank Garry Cartwright of Grant Daniel & Long, Hayes & Co as well as Ben Beling and James Thompson of StockLive for their great work.
This sale featured females that have been an important part of the Valera Vale herd.
They are proven, productive cows and females that have contributed greatly to our operation, and we are pleased to see them heading to new homes where they can continue to perform.
To our successful purchasers, thank you for your investment and trust in Valera Vale genetics.
We look forward to following the future success of your purchases and working with you in the years ahead.
For those that missed out or require more, Sale 2 will be on the 11th of July at the Silverdale Stockyards as well as being held on StockLive once again.
Valera Vale Droughtmasters Team
Droughtmaster females have long been recognised for their efficiency and ability to perform in a wide range of conditions. Their Bos indicus content, combined with retained hybrid vigour, gives them the ability to thrive on less feed while maintaining strong productivity.
These females are well suited to both purebred breeding programs and terminal crossbreeding operations, with market acceptance across feedlot, live export, and commercial cattle sectors.
Importantly, the females offered in this sale are not culls.
They are valuable breeding animals that are surplus to requirements, with many having already produced bulls sold through previous programs. The majority are young, proven breeders, pregnancy tested in calf, well handled, quiet, and reliable performers.
The offering will consist primarily of registered females, with a smaller line of commercial females available separately.
Sale Offering
Females will be offered in half-deck lines of 10 head, giving buyers flexibility and scale.
Approximately 400 females from Southeast Queensland properties will be presented at Silverdale Saleyards, with a StockLive interface.
These cattle are accustomed to ticks, forest country, and lantana, and are guaranteed to pass tick inspection on the day.
A further 200 females from Pinnacle, Augathella, will be offered via StockLive, with free delivery to Roma or Dalby Saleyards.
This sale will be conducted in conjunction with Hayes & Co, Grant Daniel & Long, and StockLive.
A Quality Breeding Opportunity
These females represent a highly productive and well-managed offering. They are ideally suited for breeding programs, while also offering strong potential as embryo transfer recipients or for IVF programs.
For cattle producers looking to build or strengthen their herd with quiet, reliable, PTIC Droughtmaster females, the Heart of the Herd Female Sale is a sale not to be missed.
