There will also be a feature offering of 30 commercial Angus yearling bulls from the Mouritz family's Hydillowah Angus.
The 14-16mo bulls are by top quality Angus sires including Mordallup Renown, Mordallup Harvestor and Millah Murrah Paratrooper P15.
The Hydillowah herd has been based on quality Mordallup sires since 1993 and the bulls have been bred in an environment to perform in a variety of conditions.
The bulls on offer have been drenched, semen tested and vaccinated with 7in1 and Vibrovax twice.
Weights on the bulls will be available on sale day.
Nutrien Livestock, Waroona, agent Richard Pollock said it was the fifth annual sale of yearling bulls from Hydillowah Angus at Boyanup which continued to go from strength-to-strength.
"Proven results with their progeny from previous buyers see them return to the sale year-on-year," Mr Pollock said.
"They are well-grown yearling bulls bred on strong Angus bloodlines with good weight for age and they are quick maturing resulting in them having a heavy mature weight at 2.5-years-old.
"The bulls were also drafted for temperament and there is a good balance of bulls suited to cow and heifer joinings.
"The after sales service from the Mouritz family is second to none as well, they stand by their product and are overly accommodating where possible to ensure the best experience for their buyers."
The second day of the special store sale will be held on Friday, June 10 at Boyanup and will feature a yarding of beef steers and heifers.
