Dean Trotter, Perillup Estate, Western Australia, again bought the highest priced ram. Last year he also paid $10,000. Mr Trotter said he chose the ram on its Australian Sheep Breeding Value figures, particularly its eye muscle depth and fat score. “Of the 110 animals, he was the best in the catalogue,” Mr Trotter said.
Glendemar improved on last year’s results, which saw a near total clearance of the 114 rams on offer. The average of $1943 was up on last year’s $1919.
