Throughout the process of searching for a business, identifying possible purchases, investigating and ultimately negotiating the contract of sale, we found that Glenn was very helpful and informative. He assisted with his industry knowledge and advice whilst maintaining a professional approach. This allowed us to make an informed decision to purchase. - V Galle and S Boughton OCEANS MOOLOOLABA We have recently concluded the sale of our busy holiday resort, and feel very fortunate indeed that Alex Cook of Resort Brokers was our Agent throughout this process. We started the sale process by meeting with several brokers, all of whom were very experienced and had excellent reputations, however, once we met Alex we knew that we would be in good hands through the inevitable challenges of the sales process. Alex proved to be very hard working, proactive, and resourceful. Importantly, he has excellent relationships with all key specialists in the Management Rights industry – Accountants, Valuers, Financiers, Finance Brokers and Lawyers.

Without exception, all of the specialists we worked with throughout the sale process all held Alex in the highest regard, and there was always a congenial and cooperative attitude from them as we worked through the key steps in the sale. I believe that Alex was able to achieve the best possible outcome. We are grateful for his enthusiasm, his focus and his positive attitude, and would have no reservations whatsoever in highly recommending him to any Resident Letting Agent who is thinking of selling. - Darren & Judy Ackland Vendors,Blue Waters Apartments I am not often moved to write to record my appreciation and recognition of outstandingly excellent work and good practice. This is because I have seldom found it.  This is not the case with Alex Cook and Resort Brokers.  The whole experience from the initial appraisal to the signing of the contract and later advice that the purchaser's finance had been approved has been of the highest order. - Peter & Marg Fisher SURFERS PARADISE

With over 50 years of breeding fertile, functional and productive cattle, it’s not by chance that Kenilworth principals Kelvin and Margaret Maloney, Mt Coolon have forged a reputation with clients for producing quality cattle throughout northern Queensland and the Northern Territory.The 16,000 hectare Kenilworth Station situated between Charters Towers and Clermont, is family owned and operated and runs between 2000 to 2500 head depending on seasonal conditions.Kelvin and his parents first arrived at the newly formed block in December 1966, and Kelvin and Margaret were married in May 1967.“The first two semi loads of Brahman bulls purchased for Kenilworth came from Albert Smith and Merv Kuhl, Glen Coe Brahman Stud in 1967. The first poll bulls to arrive at Kenilworth were in the truck from Albert Smith,” Margaret said.As the years went by, the Maloneys success with producing poll bulls became increasingly evident, and they haven’t used or purchased a horn bull for the herd since the early 1970’s.

The Kenilworth herd is consistently placed under pressure for performance, productivity and fertility. Every breeder must wean a calf every year.“We’re always trying to achieve better beef, length, bone and muscling, fertility and temperament in our herd, poll cattle we’ve purchased over the years at the February All Breeds Sale, has gone a long way to helping us realise our ambitions.“We believe well handled, quality cattle will always have a market.”The Big Country Brahman Sale concluded earlier this afternoon in what turned out to be a day for the history books.After the success of the Red Brahman draft on Monday, the Grey’s sold on day two met with an equally impressive gallery of buyers with the sale reaching adrenaline-pulsing heights when a bidding war broke out over Lot 205 Kenilworth 4899 (P) which propelled the bull to a winning bid of $96,000.Sale co-coordinators Ken McCaffrey, McCaffrey’s ALM, and Jim Geaney, Geaney’s Real Estate and Livestock, announced that the sale had set a new Australian record for the purchase price of a commercial herd bull and guessed that it was probably also likely a world record.“

The price that bull reached shows that the demand for polled Brahmans is increasing significantly each year,” Mr McCaffrey said.The bulls vendors Kelvin and Margaret Maloney, Kenilworth Brahmans, Mt Coolon, said while they knew he was a handy bull they didn’t expect him to reach the heights he did.“I don’t think it has sunken in yet that we’ll now be in the record book, it was a huge but pleasant surprise,” Mrs Maloney said.Purchaser Brian Hughes, Lanes Creek Brahmans, Georgetown, said he was happy that he ended up with the winning bid.“He has excellent bone,volume and sire appeal, I only saw him for the first time this week but he stood out with his highly desirable poll traits,” Mr Hughes said.In total 113 Grey Brahman registered sires sold for $825,500 to average $7,305 reaching a top price of $48,000, while the 10 Grey Brahman herd bulls offered grossed $148,500 with the before mentioned top of $96,000 for an amazing average of $14,850.Brian and Cindy Hughes, Lanes Creek Brahmans, sold the top price registered bull in Lot 178 Willtony Tandem 703 (P) to Clayton Curley

, Gipsy Plains Brahmans, Cloncurry, for $48,000.Mr Curley listed Tandem’s muscle, quiet temperament, clean sheath,poll appeal and overall style as the being the reasons behind his purchase.“He just has great overall Brahman characteristics, I’ll be using him for A.I work and I’ll be putting him in with the stud heifers straight away,” he said.All up 123 Grey Brahmans sold for $974,000 to average $7920, the combined gross of the sale across both days reached $1,707,300 with 232 lots sold to average $7680.Mr McCaffrey was ecstatic about the sale result after bidding came to a close.“Having bulls average close to $8000 each is a reflection on the excellent quality of the bulls selected for the sale,” he said.“We sold 30 more bulls than we did at the 2015 sale which produced a very good result itself. But this year the sale average was better and we had a 100 per cent clearance.“The frequency of bidding across both days of the sale was excellent and it was pleasing to see many long-term repeat buyers in the crowd.“

The repeat buyer turnout was matched by a strong representation of first time bidders at the sale who were attracted to the quality of the cattle catalogued.Mr McCaffrey is now looking to the 25th anniversary Big Country sale being held in a couple of years with a lot of positivity.“I’ve spoken to several vendors who are already forward planning for the 25th sale which should be a tremendous event, I’m hoping we’ll catalogue close to 330 bulls.He said for the last five years the sale gross has been nowhere near what was achieved this year, and that vendors where just as happy with the outcome as buyers.“I spoke to a number of bidders who are all very happy with the quality of the bulls they bought for what was a comparatively higher price than usual in recent years.“I think their is a lot more positivity in the stud cattle industry here now, and I think we have plenty more scope to grow the sale to accommodate the demand for high quality Brahman bulls in the north.A detailed report of the sale will appear in the February 11 edition of the North Queensland Register.
