Rogara Poll Merinos sold 53 of 55 rams offered to an average of $1892 and top of $4000 at their 10th on-property sale on Thursday.
The Goulburn stud's top priced ram sold to Lex and Richard Maas of Gilmour Station, Lake Bathurst.
The 13-month-old ram tipped the scales at 109kg and had 17.1 microns, a standard deviation of 2.4, coefficient of variation of 14 and comfort factor of 99.9 per cent.
He also had an eye muscle depth of 41.5 millimetres and fat score of 7.
Rogara's Aaron Granger said the ram's sire was purchased from Lachlan Poll Merinos at Forbes in 2017.
"He breeds large, fast-growing sheep with similar wool type to what we're producing," Mr Granger said.
"There were a number of sons by that ram in the sale."
He said they were targeting a fine/medium wool type, that tested well and was soft handling.
"We're trying to breed a heavy cutting sheep on good, early-maturing carcase," Mr Granger said.
Purchaser Lex Maas said the ram stood out for his wool type, size off the ground and weight.
"He was a very sirey ram and his figures were all up there," Mr Maas said.
The second-highest priced ram was sold to Steve and Lydia Jarvis from Heathfield Poll Merinos, Boorowa for $3750.
Gilmour Station was also the volume buyer of the day, purchasing eight rams to take home including the top-priced ram for $4000 and a second pick for $3500.
The Maas family have been purchasing rams from Rogara for more than 20 years.
"We previously bought rams from Roy Hedger at Snowy Plains and Rogara started their stud by buying Snowy Plains stud ewes, so we've been on that bloodline for a very long time," Mr Maas said.
Mr Maas said they run a self-replacing Merino flock along with first-cross ewes.
"We put the Borders over the older ewes," he said.
Twyzel Pastoral Company, Lake Bathurst were another volume buyer, buying seven rams. As was Roseglen Pastoral Company, Collector, who also came away with seven.
The sale was conducted by Landmark and Australian Wool Network with Rick Power acting as auctioneer.
