Wattle Farm, Temora sold 137 Border Leicesters at their 9th annual production sale on Friday, with demand strong across all three categories of sheep.
Six of the seven stud rams offered sold to a top price of $4500 and average of $2706, while all 31 of the stud ewes cleared for a top price of $800 and average of $677.
Volume buyers fought hard for the flock rams, with 100 out of 105 selling for a top of $2400 and average of $1472.
The top priced stud ram sold to Talkook Border Leicester Stud, Crookwell.
A replacement ram, Mr Sutton said he was a son of a Coolawang sire and was a very bold ram with tremendous sire appeal and a true to type border.
His purchaser Scott Anderson, Talkook said they had chased the rams for his bloodlines, which go back to the Oaks.
"That's what we had in our stud 30 years ago, and we're now trying to go back to use the same bloodlines which we started with," Mr Anderson said.
Mr Anderson said their stud aimed to retain good quality wool and that's what these bloodlines would help them achieve.
Another top sale was a stud ram bought for $3500 by the Fletcher family, Dry Plain.
He was a twin by Bindaree 1030 with a Borders Index of $106.8.
The top priced stud ewe was purchased by CR Morgan, MacArthur, Vic for $800. The ewe was a triplet, sired by Glenlee Park 11 and out of Wattle Farm Supreme 213.
The volume buyer in the flock rams was CF and DT Millynn, Eugowra who purchased 25 rams for an average of $1320.
Mr Sutton said there were also volume buyers from Illabo, Cooma and Burcher, while interstate bidders competed from Tasmania and Victoria.
"There's such high demand at the moment for good quality sheep, I think that will continue all through the selling season," Mr Sutton said.
The sale was conducted by Nutrien Wagga and Schute Bell Badgery Lumby with Tim Woodham (Nutrien) and Jason Hartin (Schute Bell) as auctioneers.
