Other sires also came from Kendara & Watasanta. In 2003 we purchased Watasanta Upgrade (P) for $10,000 at the Big S Sale, his progeny have sold to $20,000 at Auction with good averages in the last 3 years. Females have been sold to many studs over the last 20 years at various sales and privately. Our latest purchases of females have been made at the Warenda Major Reduction Sale in May 2009. We also purchased females from the Yarrawonga Female Sale in May 2008, to further our different bloodlines in the stud.
Show success started in 1979 with reserve Junior Champion at the Brisbane Royal. In 1981 Senior Champion Bull at Brisbane Royal with Valleyview Sorrento, by King Ranch Sorrento out of a Bolindavale cow, purchased at their Dispersal Sale. Many Ribbon winners at the local Downs Shows and Toowoomba Royal Shows over the last 30years have given us a lot of pride in our stud to this day.
