ELITE WAGYU SALE - WRAP UP

Females to $32k; Bulls top at $25k; Semen reaches $3,200

Here are the sale results from the Australian Wagyu Association (AWA) Elite Sale held on 4 November 2020 courtesy of the AWA Weekly News Update.

”The Spring 2020 Elite Wagyu Sale met with weaker demand from International and Australian breeders due to the economic uncertainty from the virus throughout the world and the US elections.

Several lots were sold after the sale as Sellers tried to meet the market. The strongest demand was for embryos from all Australian buyers. Demand from Canada and USA was best in the semen sales with three international buyers buying four lots. It was certainly a buyer`s market due to the disruptions in the world today.”
