The sale offered buyers the perfect opportunity to buy large even-lines of well-bred Merinos that were sold mainly due to extremely dry seasonal conditions.

Most of the sheep were bought by restockers but a couple of meat buyers were present, adding some competition on heavier ewes and wether lambs.

Wethers topped at $25 and despite the tough conditions vendors and livestock agents were pleased with the overall results.
