The 2nd Namoi Dorper sale was  held on the 6th of Febuary 2010 again a success.  Gunnedah had 50mls of rain overnight prior to the sale and through out the morning ,so it was a little damp  and the sheep  were carrying a little more mud than we usually see around here…… Great to see some rain! The top ram price $950 averaging $400,   the top  priced ewe $800  with strong demand  for commercial ewes averaging $135.

 Thanks to Brian Riordon  sale organiser of Glen Erin Dorper Stud and the staff of Davidson Cameron & Co  Gunnedah for  the work you all put in. 

 The Namoi Dorper Sale will be held again early 2011.

Douggie Lambs  29thNovember2009

 Old Douggie  has again given  a great little mob of lambs, with average weaning weights 32kg. Douggie was used as a covering ram with some of our fullblood ewes this year. Of the 13  Douggie lambs  weaned 11 ewes and 2 rams. Conditions  have been very dry, so this time we have weaned earlier than usual to take some pressure off  the ewes ,  most of the weaner lambs are around 80 days

We currently have a selection of commercial rams for sale prices Start from $300 +gst . Check out the for sale page.

The first of Woodensprings Rover lambs have started arriving early November 09, Rover was joined to our young ewes most just 12 months old at lambing. The lambs  have been averaging birth weights of  around 4kg.

 Lambing time again with our first Bruce lambs, we have had a high percentage of ram lambs, all looking great.
