Glendemar Ram Sale Report

The new state-of-the-art Woolshed selling facility was a feature at the annual Glendemar MPM Ram Sale. On what was a windy and rainy day, clients and onlookers were kept dry and comfortable whilst the rain fell loudly on the roof.

Veteran Auctioneer Andrew Sloan who had recently retired from Nutrien made his debut at Glendemar as an independent and showed that he hadn't lost any touch in what was a flourless display of selling.

It was the list of long-term clients to have dominated the catalogues in years gone by who were again to the fore at this year's sale.

"It's simple", one client said. "These Glendemar Merinos just tick all the boxes for Lambs weaned, early maturing, Shearing every 6 month's and they don't need much attention".

They sold 153 Rams to a top of $9000 at an average of $3582 a head.

Some of those Long terms clients included the Goodes Family from Kingston, SA, who have built a large two-state commercial breeding flock took home 11 Rams. Howard and Chris Frampton, Joel Joel, Vic, who claim the title as the longest-serving clients, bought 7 Rams. Martin Long, Wareek, Vic, bought 4. Western Australia was once again represented by the Woods family, who bought 8 and travel partner Dean Trotter who operated at the top end, took home the sale topper at $9000.

Other long-term clients were The Peters family, Cleve, SA who were out in force and bought 6, the Pitcher family, Skipton, Vic also bought 6 rams, the Dunstan Family, who operated through Auctionplus, and Joe Gilbertson. Parilla SA who bought 3 Rams
