Introducing Circle 8 Rosebud S669 to the Macka’s Herd
ANGUS breed records fell on two occasions at the Circle 8 Angus female sale as an explosive sale ring experienced breeders chasing yearling heifers to tops of $140,000. The records came off the back of the Cooper family, Marula, taking the courageous step to offer the entire S-drop of their heifer line, which created a frenzy with buyers that saw an opportunity to buy the best on offer.

What you need to know about foot & mouth Disease
With the recent threat of Foot & Mouth Disease to Australia, we thought it was important to share some information on what is already in place to keep our industry safe and allow us to continue to produce the best food in the world.
Foot & Mouth Disease is a genuine threat to the Agricultural Industry, so we all must take responsibility for our actions, both those on-farm in Australia and those returning from overseas.
For us Macka’s this means ensuring our on-farm biosecurity plan is up-to-date and keeping a log of everyone that visits our farm.
Let's all stay calm and support those who are working hard to keep this out of Australia.
