Ram Selling
The Principals and Management of the Wanganella and Poll Boonoke Merino Studs would like to thank all of the successful Buyers and Underbidders, and their Advisers, for their support at our 2019 Auction. We appreciate the confidence you have shown in our Merino genetics and look forward to continuing to work with you in your breeding business.
Hitting the top price of $26,000 twice in succession for the Poll Boonoke rams offered as Lot 1 and Lot 2 set the tone for an exceptional sale for the Wanganella and Poll Boonoke Studs.
At a time when we know many committed breeders and long time clients have been forced to reduce/disperse their flocks, we appreciate the support offered with 75 on site registrations and an additional 36 on AuctionsPlus. We thank our long standing clients for their custom and welcome the 7 new buyers who purchased at the auction. We are also gratified that 14 studs opted to source genetics at the Wanganella and Poll Boonoke Studs.
