As Members may be aware, in 2022 CQLX approached the ABCA and notified us that, as of 2023, the Rockhampton Brangus Sale would be unable to operate after noon on the Tuesday to allow for the CQLX extra-large Prime Cattle Sale (Wednesday of Brangus Week).

This change in CQLX policy resulted in the 2023 ABCA sale format being impacted. Conscious that changes like this impact heavily on vendors in particular, Board representatives and ABCA office participated in a meeting and several conversations with CQLX management and Agents to try and rectify this issue. Despite our efforts, there has been no movement from CQLX on their position.

As a result, the ABCA sale format for 2023 will be -

Saturday 7th October
Scanning to be done at CQLX

Sunday 8th October
Brangus Meet & Greet/Bull Walk

Monday 9th October
9am - Brangus Bull Sale

Tuesday 10th October
8am - Ray White Commerical Brangus Sale, followed by Brangus Female Sale

If you have any feedback on the sale format, please email office@brangus.com.au

The Board & office is happy to receive feedback and will use it in future conversations with CQLX on this matter. Verbal feedback will be accepted.

Further information about the sale, nominations, deadlines etc. will be circulated in the coming months.
