TWILIGHT SPRING BULL SALE

Bowman Genetics Sets the Benchmark with Outstanding Spring Sale

Bowman Performance Genetics recorded a strong result at its 2026 Spring Bull Sale, with high-profile Angus studs and commercial producers competing for an outstanding draft of genetics. The Neerim South-based stud sold 38 of 46 two-year-old bulls to average $9,842, with the sale led by a standout son of Millah Murrah Trigger. Lot 13, Bowman Trigger V342, attracted the top bid of $36,000 from Mandayen Angus Stud of Keith, South Australia. The bull was recognised for his combination of phenotype and performance, ranking in the top 1 per cent of the breed for net feed efficiency, top 3 per cent for eye muscle area and top 11 per cent for 600-day weight.

The sale highlighted growing demand for the stud's elite genetics, with buyers drawn from Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania. A second Trigger son, Bowman Trigger V161, made $24,000 to Murdeduke Angus, while 13 sons of Woodhill Comstock achieved a complete clearance, topping at $13,000. Commercial demand was equally strong, with Black Mountain Station purchasing five bulls to $12,000 and averaging $9,600. For principal Glenn Bowman, the results represented an important step forward for the program and reinforced the demand for genetics focused on fertility, growth, feed efficiency and carcase performance.
