Victorian Dairy Sale Breaks Records, Ethan Couch Leads
A recent dairy sale in Victoria’s Nar Nar Goon shattered records, thanks to a spirited bidding war led by Ethan Couch. The top lot fetched a remarkable $20,000, drawing gasps from the crowd.
The team at Nar Nar Goon, comprising Luke, Amy, John, and Cherie Gardiner, teamed up with Scott Lord of Dairy Livestock Services and STG’s Paul Douglas and Simon Tognolo to orchestrate the event. Marty Glennen and Brian Leslie, the auctioneer, kept the audience on their toes.
The sale’s highlight was the intense competition for the premier lot. When the gavel dropped at $20,000, joyous cheers erupted from the buyers, Marcus Young and Brent Mitchell, and the vendors alike. The record-breaking price signals a thriving dairy market, boosted by strong local and international demand.
The event was captured by photographer Alastair Dowie, immortalizing the excitement and camaraderie that characterized the day. As the crowd dispersed, one thing was clear: the Victorian dairy industry is in rude health, and more milestones are sure to follow.
