Rams to $39,000 at Classings Classic, SA

08 Oct, 2008 07:59 AM
With more registered buyers than catalogued rams the Classings Classic sale was always odds on favourite to be an outstanding sale at the Murray Bridge racecourse on Friday.

And it came home a winner featuring the highest priced ram sold in South Australia for 2008 and a magical $3149 average - up an impressive $551 on the 2007 sale.

Three Poll Merino rams cracked the $10,000 mark, including the $39,000 sale topper offered by Peter and Marianne Wallis, Glenlea Park, Pinnaroo.

Congratulations to these merino breeders who are showing the future with outstanding sheep for a number of traits including less wrinkle & quality soft wool. They are showing the long term solution for many woolgrowers to the mulesing issue. Well done.
