2020 Wanganella & Poll Boonoke Ram Auction

The Principals and Management of the Wanganella & Poll Boonoke Studs would like to thank all the successful Buyers and Underbidders, and their Advisers, for their support at our 2020 Auction. We appreciate your business, your confidence in our genetics and your enthusiasm for Merino breeding.

The top priced auction ram was Lot 13, W190385 by W170470, purchased by the Willandra Merino Stud at Jerilderie for $13,000 having been identified at the AFA Stud Open Day by Ross Wells and Angus Heath as a potential sire as he was a “… true dual purpose sheep, with wool and a big rear end.” The Woolkabin Stud at Katanning, WA purchased Lot 12, W192250 by W170084, for $12,000 and the Kiawarra Stud at Weethalle, NSW purchased Lot 11, W190304 by W170470, for $10,000. The top priced Wanganella paddock ram went to HW & EJ Rowling at Ungarie, who went to $11,000 to acquire Lot 17, W190951 who can trace his pedigree back to the successful Wanganella Sire W100019.

For the Poll Boonoke Stud, a top price of $12,000 was achieved twice. Firstly, with Lot 1 PB190058, an ET bred son of PB130028 and a full brother to the ram purchased in 2019 for $70,000, who was purchased by GR Mulligan& Co at Clare, SA. Then again with Lot 6, PB190044 by Willandra Poll 170018, one of two rams purchased by Almondvale Stud, Urana, NSW. Almondvale also purchased PB191348 by PB170440 for $11,000. Windarra Partners, Hillston, NSW and D & KC Noakes, Bedgerebong, NSW both paid $10,000 for their ram selection, PB190098 by PB130028 going home to Hillston and PB190205 by PB150338 going to Bedgerebong.
