Strong interest in Kirkwood wildlife auction

01 Feb 2016 | Admin Author


Some 150 buyers from around Southern Africa crowded into the Kirkwood High School hall on Friday to spend over R11-million on prime game in one of the country's top wildlife auctions.

The biggest interest was in 38 buffalo from the Addo Elephant National Park.

Top prices for the buffalo were R380 000 for a bull and R300 000 for a cow.

The turnover of R11,2-million, was up on last year's R9,9-million as game farmers in the Eastern Cape recover from a devastating drought.
