On the third Monday in September, Elders Ltd. conducts our Annual On-Property Flock Ram Sale. Inspection is invited from 11:00 am. A complimentary light luncheon is available.

The sale catalogue is online approximately 2 weeks before the sale. Prior to this, our current years sale rams are listed in Carcase + order on our Lambplan data page for your perusal. Alternatively if you would like to be on the mailing list and receive a catalogue by post please email us with your details.

The prime lamb industry is still reliable and the focus of our breeding program remains on meeting high industry standards. We strive to produce strong, robust rams with fast early growth, excellent carcase composition (high red meat yield in the loin and hindquarter), good skins and downs wool and well structured frames. In recent years we have made excellent genetic gain as we continue to source only the best genetics to complement our flock.

Overview of our offering for 2006,
Displaying plenty of growth and muscle.

Congratulations to John Farley for his good management and achievements topping the Murray Bridge Prime Lamb sale on 15/8/05 with his new season's sucker Wingamin sired lambs. It's great to see the lambs performing in such a difficult season.

Taken from Stock Journal 18/8/05.

The stud is committed to Quality Assurance and catering to our clients' needs. We keep detailed pedigree and performance records and select for economically important traits, ensuring our rams are:

: Easy care, easy lambing, structurally correct and well balanced. Free of wool on the face and legs to minimise grass seed problems.
:Will capably perform well in tough Mallee conditions over Merino ewes to consistently produce the goods for trade or heavy weights - Lambplan figures are available. Poor "doers" lacking vigour and constitution are always culled.
: Productive, fast early growth, well muscled and large framed. Hardy constitution and short, dense Downs wool, keeping sucker lambs " fresher" for longer.

Our property is well fenced and well maintained, and this coupled with good management practices ensures rams are presented to buyers without bad habits and in the best of health. Rams are shorn in August, are backlined, drenched and have received a full course of Glanvac 6 vaccinations.
