The stud principals were delighted with the result and the many return clients who bought rams, several being multi-lot buyers.
Two buyers paying top money included repeat buyer of 5 years, Brian Plummer, "Trigoona", Tottenham, who bought five rams for a $1460 average; and Brett Wilson, "Girrahween", Coonamble, who paid an average $1467 for three rams.
Mr Plummer will join his purchases to classed out young ewes and culled old ewes from his Merino flock of Well Gully blood for first cross production while Mr Wilson plans to join his rams to Border Leicester flock ewes to produce homebred rams for his first cross production program with older Merino ewes.
