Sovereign Poll Dorsets again offered 15 rams at the 2020 Annual multi-breed ram sale at the Inglewood showgrounds, Queensland. For the four years that the sale has been running Sovereign has had a total clearance. This year a top price of $1700 and average of $1326 with no rams selling below $1000. This multi vendor annual sale is held on the last Friday in February and with a number of regular buyers totally destocked and only a very recent break from the devastating drought it was very difficult to predict how the sale would hold up. A smaller crowd than normal was in attendance, however there was strong demand for our Poll Dorsets. Following the sale we immediately negotiated another 14 rams from our paddock sales. It was very pleasing to see return clients and some new buyers in attendance. Again the total clearance of our Poll Dorsets and strong after sale demand supported the fact that Poll Dorsets are the preferred terminal sire for the prime lamb industry. |
