Another year and another challenge,as mother nature once again threw us a curve ball as far as seasonal conditions go. After watching our mates in the South and the West battle a devastating prolonged drought, we eventually copped a dose of it ourselves, recording a very dry and frosty Autumn/Winter period which resulted in almost...

AT LAST A NORMAL SEASON!!! After 2 years of unrelenting rain we were beginning to think it was never going to end however the flooding eventually did stop and 2023 brought with it a perfect autumn followed by a mild winter with just enough precipitation to keep the season rolling along giving the young rams as good a start as they’ve had for a number of years.

With the strict Covid regulations of the previous two years at last seemingly behind us (hopefully) it’s great to be able move back into a normal ram sale program. Despite the irritation of masks, social distancing, lockdowns and all the inconveniences that we had to endure perhaps one benefit has been that commercial buyers have had to develop a better understanding of how to navigate the complicated and continually evolving world of figures and in particular breeding values.
