Wooden Springs Dorper Stud

 The National Dorper sale is to be held in Dubbo NSW on the 1st September 2010 and will be interfaced with Auctionsplus Pty Ltd. Our sale entries headed off  to Dubbo on Sunday 29th thanks to Anne & Graham Budd of Old Munbilla Stud,  We have  had to withdraw lot 176  from due to injury. He will make a full recovery but is not fit to travel at the moment. ( just got a bit excited and slipped in the mud while on the lead). So ater a flat tyre repair and a visit from our vet, on Sunday morning all  the remaining enteries were loaded and have arrived safely at the Dubbo Showgrounds. We are not totally happy with our presentation, but are happy we have them presented at the sale. All the sheep were shorn on the 27/7/10 after which, we  have had very cold ,wet  weather ( best winter rain we have had since moving here 3 years ago) so the Rams are  all looking a little fluffy.  All will shed  as soon as they get some warmer weather.  They have  all been on pasture only , supplemented with dry hay since the lush green feed has emerged,  a  gradual introduction of  Furneys stud & show feed mix for 1 week prior, just to get them used to the penning required for the sale.
