Stock agents bid big for their 'headspace Hero'

headspace Albury-Wodonga was the beneficiary of the charity auction that fetched $11,000 for a 600-kilogram Angus steer.

Cattleyard builders Thompson Longhorn — which built the new yards — and the Albury-Wodonga Stock Agents Association went 50-50 on the purchase of the steer, dubbed “headspace Hero”.
