The 2025 Ag-Grow Elite Bull and Horse Sales held in Emerald from 26 to 27 June 2025 has delivered standout results. With strong national buyer interest and a significant lift in sale quality and turnout, it marked a new milestone for the two-day event.
The horse sale topped with Lot 18, ONEOFAKIND IDAHO, selling for $47,500 to ZM & RA Bonisch from vendors PK Copping & JE Curr.
Led by Elders QLD/NT Stud Stock Sales Specialist, Anthony Ball, the success of this year’s sales has been the culmination of long-term planning, investment, and collaboration across the Elders network.
“This year’s Ag-Grow bull and horse sales exceeded all expectations,” Anthony said.
“The growth and planning of the Elders elite horse sale in particular has been in the works for the last five years, and it is a credit to the Elders team to get it to where it is today.”
This year the horse sale was a standout, breaking records across the board. A total of 60 head were sold with 100 per cent clearance for an average of $18,858, a top of $47,500 and a gross of $1,131,500.
The 2025 sales featured a refreshed arena and infrastructure upgrades, enhancing both vendor and buyer experience.
“The coordination with vendors, the upgrades to the arena and infrastructure, and the strength of the Elders network and our clients’ buying power have all been standout elements this year and really contributed to the success of the event,” Anthony said.
With buyers attending from every state and territory except the ACT, the sale attracted national interest.
“I truly am humbled by the backing that I have received from the equine and bull community,” he said.
“Looking ahead to next year I would like to say, watch this space. We are going to continue to refine the sale and make things bigger and better in 2026.”
