From mustering near Lake Torrens on Monday, through to delivery at Jamestown on Wednesday, it has been a busy week for the South Gap wether lambs, proving that selling stock is far from a one-day event.

But with the wethers being drafted into two lines, and being knocked down to multiple buyers, the sheep still had a long way to go before the week's end.
