There was no better way to mark a milestone than with a highly successful 25th annual sale for the Shirlee Downs and Dongadilling Poll Dorset and Prime SAMM studs on-property at Quairading last week.

ON the back of one of the worst years on record at Beacon, the Parakeelya Poll Merino stud ram sale at Beacon last Wednesday was very buoyant.

IT was a buyers’ market at the Rabobank National Merino Ram Sale at Dubbo, New South Wales, last week with prices reaching $22,000.

BUYERS let an opportunity to purchase large-framed, heavy cutting, quality woolled rams slip through their fingers at last week’s Trevino on-property Poll Merino ram sale at Southern Cross.

MERINOS were the stars of the show at last week’s Esperance Breeders’ Ram Sale where four studs achieved a collective average of $1654, up by a solid $262 on last year.

THE unseasonal conditions, including a lack of rain throughout many areas where regular Tiarri Prime SAMM clients are based, had an impact on the final results of last week’s ninth Tiarri on-property ram sale at Lake Grace.

THE breeding plan at the House family’s Barloo Merino and Poll Merino stud at Gnowangerup focuses around consistency and predictability.

THE Button family notched up a colossal result at its 13th annual on-property ram sale at Tammin on Monday to celebrate the stud’s 50th anniversary of Poll Merino breeding.

THE Button family, Manunda Poll Merino stud, Tammin, established a new record sale price for the stud recently when it sold a young Poll Merino sire privately for $30,000.
