Multiple studs converged on the Jerilderie Showgrounds, NSW, to conduct a joint display of their flocks.
These included East Loddon Merinos, Poll Boonoke Poll Merinos, Woodpark Poll, and more.
Woodpark stud principal Stephen Huggins, Hay, NSW, said while there wasn’t an abundance of visitors, the open day was a good opportunity for studs on display to network and benchmark their sheep.
“A lot of the closer studs had a big volume of sheep, 30 or 40 plus rams and young ewes, it was quite good to get a look at where they were all at,” Mr Huggins said.
Mr Huggins had a group of one year-old ewes out of the paddock, older sires, young rams, and his Sheepvention sale rams, on display.
He said visitors travelled from as far as Temora, NSW, and Walbundrie, NSW.
He said it would have been hard to pick a better time to have an open day, given the strength of the sheep and wool industry.
“Wool is superb and sheep are selling incredibly well,” he said.
