The 2025 Rockhampton Brahman Week Sale opened with strong demand, high-grade bulls selling over $18,000, and Australian cattle prices rising.

The 2025 Rockhampton Brahman Week Sale began October 6 with 814 bulls offered, featuring strong early demand driven by the Northern Territory’s live export market and preference for high-grade Brahman cattle.

The event follows a 2024 sale with 91% clearance and a $90,000 top price. Meanwhile, Australian cattle prices rose on AuctionsPlus, with heavy feeders and heifers over 400kg seeing strong demand, while sheep and lamb listings surged 53% amid firm restocker demand and high-quality prices.
