Having enjoyed the day so much in 2021, and not just because it was one of the few outings for the year, AFA were pretty keen to get back to Marra in 2022 and reconnect with a crowd who are very passionate about their sheep.

The Champion March Shorn Australian Merino All Purpose Ram ribbon was an excellent conclusion to CMB’s (PB211143) time on the show mat at the 2022 Australian Sheep & Wool Show in July after winning the Reserve Champion March Shorn Fine/Medium Wool Poll Ram and the Reserve Junior Champion Fine/Medium Wool Ram ribbons.

A fabulous day. Very proud of the rams on offer, the result of an immense team effort. As ever, enjoyed catching up with our valued clients and industry people. Thank you to everybody who was a part of our day.

Wednesday 15 September at Boonoke, Conargo
60 Wanganella Rams, 150 Poll Boonoke Rams, Auction commences at 1.00 pm, Rams penned for inspection from 9.00 am, Auction interfaced on AuctionsPlus

An exemption has been granted such that we will be able to conduct our Ram Auction on 15 September and open it up to members of the public, and people can participate in an outdoor public gathering for the purposes of buying livestock at auction.

The cancellation of the 2021 Australian Sheep & Wool Show meant we got to stay at home and make videos of the rams that were packed and ready to go to Bendigo for showing and display.

Congratulations to Lachie Barrett on his win in the Junior Judging competition and Peter Nadin for his Encouragement Award in the Blade Shearing competition.

A familiar and respected identity in the sheep industry, the passing of Bill Mildren in June 2021 has robbed us of an experienced sheepman, a steady yet innovative mentor, a strong sounding board and, most importantly, a valued friend.
