Below is the full Angus Sale Catalogue results for the 2010 Angus New Zealand National Sale held at the Manfeild Park Stadium in Feilding on the 18th May 2010. The 3.30pm sale offered 38 lots, averaging $8750.

A big crowd of on-lookers saw a top price of $26000 paid by Kaharau Angus Stud for for the stud sire Turiroa Power 008490 from the Angus stud of the Powdrell  family at Wairoa.
Turiroa Power was one of the bulls offered from The FMG Bull Evaluation Unit Group, who not only had the top priced bull representing them but also had the very satisfactory average of $8986 for the 11 bulls sold from that selection.
Another new concept that was tried this year was the "Select Sire Group" - 2 yr bulls that had been used as yearlings in the breeders mating programmes for the 2010 season and then offered at this National Sale. The 11 bulls in this category also sold very well with particular interest in them being shown by fellow breeders.

Yet again the Angus breed and its brands were to the fore at the "Steak of Origin" competition, held recently during the Beef Expo week in Feilding from the 15th - 18th May 2010.

As the annual search for the 'best steak in the land' went on Angus was the name on most people's lips as judges finalised their placings in the Steak of Origin for 2010.
