Ram selling for us typically occurs in the last week in November when we offer 450 rams for sale at prices of $1500, $1000, $700, and $500. Stud singles and pairs range from $5000 to $2000, with sale arrangements for these rams to be concluded before October 15 each year. Prices are arrived at by analysing all the relevant physical characteristics of the rams, along with all the available in-flock comparative data. Client loyalty is rewarded with a picking order, however, with negotiation we are prepared to accommodate the majority of new buyers’ needs, should they be specific and realistically achievable. With the trend to cross breeding, we allow loyal buyers one years’ grace to source other rams, while still retaining their place in our picking order. New buyers should also be aware that in the last 5 years, the index for our 300th (700 Animalplan pts.) ranked ram has improved more than 50%, so there is quality on offer at all levels.   

          The 450 rams offered for sale are the remains of approximately 1100 recorded ram lambs. More than 98% of rams offered for sale are twins or triplets with 50% coming from dams that have only reared multiples. The ratio of starting ram lambs born to sale rams offered, at 1100 to 400, ensures a high standard with SIL production indexes(DPP) ranging from a minimum of 800 up to 2200, using standard economic relativities.  

          All rams are vet checked and brucella ovis accredited. Full pedigree and production records are available on the spot at selling time, with all information supplied and tailored to buyer requirements. This information is a combination of objectively measured and computer analysed data from Animalplan/SIL, along with the subjective judgment of experienced independent professionals on wool and carcass. Buyers are encouraged and invited to thoroughly scrutinise all aspects of our operation with genuine enquiries most welcome.
