Stars of the Border Dance for Cancer participant Ryan Speed auctioned a steer donated by Border real estate agent Graham Chapman.
“It was pretty much over before it began,” Mr Speed said.
“Between the auctioneer doing the spiel and it actually selling, it would have been less than 60 seconds.”
Mr Speed didn’t realise initially the sale price referred to cents per kilogram.
“When we heard 300, we were thinking, is that $300?” Mr Speed said.
“When the figure of $1400 came out, all our jaws pretty much dropped to the floor.”
He thanked Mr Chapman, of PRD Nationwide Albury, for his generosity and help in organising the auction.
