The April/May 2018 drop ewes, August-shorn and scanned empty were sired by Cadell Border Leicester rams from Merino ewes bred by Tupra Pastoral Company, Oxley.
The entire yarding averaged $276.
Top price at $330 was paid for 100 by a Cootamundra district producer, while other sales included $310 for 170, $300 for 687 and $295 for 240.
Vendor Heath Bruckner was very pleased with the result.
"It is always difficult to know what will happen but it was a great sale," he said.
"It has been a tough summer, but the sheep have grown out very well."
Many repeat buyers attended the sale, with ewes going to Cootamundra, Collingullie, Wagga Wagga, Albury, Warnambool and Tarwin Lower, Victoria.
