“The consistently strong Mawarra bull sale was testimony to years of cautious and committed genetic progress guided by the Sykes Family.
The confidence of the buyers made the auction flow steadily as there was little hesitation towards investing in the industry relevant genetics on offer.
Both the Hereford and Angus sale strings represented maternally orientated phenotypes with the appropriate optimisation of performance traits.”

‘Our clients’ success is our greatest reward’
Mawarra is our home, our livelihood and our passion.
We strive to present bulls and females that offer a range of genetic options and performance traits, enabling our clients to purchase from the same ‘farm gate’ while continuing to improve and diversify their own breeding programs. Our own breeding herd has been developed over more than half a century.
We are encouraged by the passion and enthusiasm that our children have for Mawarra and the beef industry. Together we are committed to consistently breeding modern, efficient, profitable cattle to meet the needs of our clients and the greater beef industry….
