International Dairy Week welcomes visitors from 20 countries, who come to watch the holstein, jersey, illawarra, brown swiss, ayrshire and guernsey shows and is deemed equally important for commercial dairymen and registered breeders.

The three bulls will sell for $20, $24 and $45 a straw, respectively.

Jersey team, Bridon Remake Comerica and Lencrest Blackstone will cost $20 a straw.
