Mt Mable Angus are pleased to offer their entire 2023 PTIC heifer crop for sale

Our sale on the 10th June 2024 was very pleasing in what had been a very uncertain and difficult farming year.

38th Mt Mable Two year old bull sale done and dusted. Very spirited bidding saw 27 of the 30 bulls offered on the 12th of June sold under the hammer at Kumeroa. Top price of $21,000 was paid commercially for an exceptionally good son of the $92,000 Cricklewood Pandemic P056 son.

Megan and Kevin Friel stand by the pedigree of all their Mt Mable Stud bulls, with well over fifty years of records to prove their worth.

Another yearling bull sale under our belts. Thanks to all our regular supporters who braved some pretty gnarly weather. Special thanks to Lucy and Rob Thorneycroft, Tapiri Angus who bought the yet to be named Mt Mable 2104 for top price of $8,400.

It was an interesting day in the office for us on the 13th June. With one of our long standing and highly valued bull buying clients calling us beforehand especially from his hospital bed apologising for not being able to attend the sale – that is what we call dedication. Other long standing clients did not require bulls this year either which flattened the sale somewhat.

Well now the yearling bull sale is over and calving at home is nearly over it is time to reflect on other events. Received a lovely report from Sam Mann from newly formed Glengyle Angus on one of the heifers that they bought on our online only Bidr.co.nz sale in March.

Mt Mable Angus had another good day in the office despite the nasty weather and the tricky, crowd devoid, covid 19 reality for our 4th Annual yearling bull sale.

The Mt. Mable Angus pedigree herd run by Kevin and Megan Friel can now be found on their 650 acre farm south of Dannevirke but the cattle earned their stripes on the original steep, wet King Country family hill farm for over 40 years.

2020’s 2 year old Mt Mable Angus bull sale has cemented our reputation for quality and highly sought after bulls – in a year which can only be described as dreadful for many farming families, with the doubly whammy of severe drought and Covid 19,
