Additional 2024 Sale Notes:
The focus of our annual production sales is on providing highly productive breeding stock for commercial sheep producers. We aim to increase the number of lots in our sales each year to match the increasing demand, so that most of the lots sell at a price that gives the commercial sheep producer great value for their investment.
