Roger and Cynthia Draper, Goodwood near Woodgate were repeat buyers at the Clay Gully Sale. The Drapers have been purchasing Clay Gully Simmentals for around 15 years.

The Draper family’s buyer particularly likes the Simmental content and believes the coastal cattle perform very well.
Unfortunately the Draper family’s ability to run more cattle has been severely hindered from the vegetation laws which has impacted on about 2000 hectares of their country.
