Mishaal Bin Hamad: Charolais herd

Emir Sheikh Tamim’s eldest brother, Sheikh Mishaal Bin Hamad Al-Thani, who rarely makes the news, featured in the Australian farming press after buying Charolais cattle at several auctions in November and December. He bought bulls at a market in Capel, and bulls and heifers at the Bardoo and Elgin Park annual sale, where he paid the top price of $10,750 for a bull. Sheikh Mishaal’s agents bought another 40 heifers at a sale in December.
