Multi-Vendor Sale Results - 2017

North East Merino Breeders Group: Benalla 15th August

This was the final year that Stefan Spiker scanned the rams for the All Purpose Section at Benalla. He has been there since the inception and we will miss you Stef! All 60 rams were weighed and scanned and then in the running for the All Purpose Champion Ram and the Champion Wool Ram. It is very pleasing to announce that the Toland Poll Merino won both of these sashes with the same ram! 161069 was the ram to beat. He weighed in at 98kg and measured 7.5 for fat and 39 for eye muscle depth. He is a well structured ram and had the wool to match the carcase! He was bought by L and S Kubeil of Violet Town for $3,250 in the sale.

We are very encouraged by the sale results this year and hope the trend continues for our last sale which will be on the 25th of September (3 weeks away today!).

28th On Property Ram Sale - Monday 28th Sept 2015,
Stay tuned for results....

Phil, Georgina and Anna Toland with Shaun Young of Yass, NSW with the top priced ram ($3,200).

A POLL Merino ram that sold for $3200 topped Toland Merino’s 28th ram sale at ­Violet Town on Monday. Article by Andrew Miller from Stock and Land

95/100, to $3200, av $1642.

CONFIDENCE in the wool market has continued to drive sales, with another near total auction clearance of stud rams at the Toland’s Feltrim stud, at Violet Town.

Auctioneers sold 95 of the 100 Polled and Horned Merinos under the hammer, but private treaties accounted for the rest of the rams on offer.

Landmark Melbourne stud stock auctioneer Andrew Sloane said it was a very solid sale, with a lot of volume buyers snapping up rams.

“It’s a bit dry around here and it was probably a better sale than perhaps the season looks,” Mr Sloane said.

“Buyers are pretty confident, the confidence is there, the livestock prices are up – they have to buy their seedstock and are putting their hands up, and buying them.”

Yeumburra, Yass, NSW property manager Sean Young, bought the sale-topper for $3200.

“I bought it mainly for its bright wool, long stapling and dual purpose figures, it will suit our country, pretty well,” Mr Young said.

The ram had figures of a fibre diameter (FD) of 16.5, standard deviation (SD) of 3.4, co-efficient of variation (CV) of 20.8, comfort factor (CF) of 99.8 and was rated an Elite score of 43,

Mr Young said Violet Town had a similar climate and rainfall to Yass, so the rams suited the property there.

He said he had been coming to the Feltrim sale for about a decade.

Feltrim stud principal Phil Toland said he was pleased with the sale, which reflected last year’s result.

“We concentrate on polls, that’s where the demand is,” Mr Toland said.

“Fleece weight, growth rate and reproduction, are the key drivers for profitability that’s what we concentrate on.”

Here is the rundown from the Stock and Land:   www.stockandland.com.au/news/agriculture/sheep/general-news/poll-merino-tops-north-east-sale/2709024.aspx

We had a fantastic ram sale yet again for 2013. There was total clearance with another 6 sold out the back after the auction. We had some new clients this year which is fantastic. It's always good to see our loyal clients returning year after year but it's encouraging to gain a few new ram buyers also! It makes all the hard work worth it. We wish to thank our clients, new and old, for the ongoing support.

The average for this year was $1,460. It was slightly less than last year but we are pleased given the tough conditions faced earlier in the season. 

The top price of $2,800 went to MDR Cameron, Tasmania, for lot 8 - 121329. 

Below are a few photos from the day. Thanks to Nick the photographer!
