At on our property sale in August, we offered 132 rams and 128 sold for an average of $1996. The top price was $8,400 for Lot 4, (GP 885 ET bred spring drop), selling to Boorana Stud, Woorndoo, Victoria. Fifteen rams were purchased by stud breeders. We were very proud of the depth of rams we offered in 2014. Prices such as $2600 for lot 131 and $3,400 for lot 124 indicated to us that our clients also saw the depth in our rams. That said, 30% of the rams sold for $1,000 or less, giving great value for money for our clients purchasing those sheep.
