March 15th, 2024 - Clermont Saleyards - Sale Starts 10am

In March each year, the Clermont Saleyards comes alive with the hosting of the Highlands Droughtmaster Sale. Quite arguably one of the most affordable sales in Central Queensland, the Highlands Droughtmaster Sale has a reputation for consistently producing quiet, cost-effective, productive Droughtmaster cattle that perform well in the field.

Going into it’s 33rd year in 2024 is true testament to the commitment of the sale vendors and the unwavering support of the local and not-so-local cattlemen and women who make the trek to Clermont each year. The Sale continually has a strong presence of repeat buyers year after year who source both stud and commercial bulls and more recently, registered females.

Some of the leading studs in the Droughtmaster world are represented at this sale and they bring with them a wealth of genetic strength in their cattle. The vendor group have all been involved since the sale’s inception and many studs have passed into the second generation in that time.

Every year the Highlands Sale vendors strive for the recognition of hosting a sale that produces good beefy bullock bulls for the commercial cattleman as well as the higher profile sires for the discerning stud buyer.

The Highlands Sale group constantly strives to find ways to improve the sale by talking to their buyers about what’s important to them in respect to the type of animals that they wish to purchase as well as their thoughts on the improvement to the sale format.

This year, Highlands Droughtmaster Sale is being interfaced with Stocklive/Elite Livestock Auctions. Click on the logo below to bid online for the Event.

The vendors will donate $50 from each bull sold at this year’s sale to the CQ Rescue Service so that they can continue to carry out their vital work in our region and beyond.
