00:00Ross Millen just reporting on the result of the 2025 Australian Wolf Show Ram sale.

00:06Today we had a good sale. We topped out at $16,000 for a Ram and $13,000 for a U.

00:11$16,000 was for a range view Ram from WA and that was part of the Australian Pairs Championship.

00:19So a great result for that program.

00:22And the $13,000 was for a Collinsville U.

00:24They had a good team of four views that averaged $87.50 so that brought something new to the sale.

00:32Overall we sold about 61 Rams I think and we averaged $46.55 so a little bit back on last year

00:38but we're pretty happy with the result considering the current environment.

00:43The sale was well attended and Rams were offered from New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania

00:51and obviously Victoria and buyers came as far as from Queensland.

00:55So I think overall a good satisfactory result and a good end to the weekend for the 2025 Australian Sheep and Wolf Show.

01:03Yeah, it was fairly tough really, which is expected.

01:08The amount of money people have spent on feeding sheep.
