AWD 18th Annual Ram Sale

View the online catalogue


AuctionsPlus online bidding


We're jumping into 2024 and it's looking bright. With more rain falling as I write this there will be plenty of grass ahead for most of our clients if not an average year. 2023 was a testing time for any sheep producers but now with a few showers and moisture in the ground we look back and see actually how well we performed in the saleyards. A testament to the breed and our foundational ewes who are the power house of AWD.


This year's sale is starting off well with plenty of clients getting some season changing rains and feed in abundance. Nothing much has changed this year for the 18th annual ram sale, only the depth of the rams. A really impressive bunch as they latest drop should be. We're in the stage of targeting what traits we want precisely and it's a great tool for you to get closer to achieving your own 2024 goals.


We will have similar numbers to last year around the 100 mark to provide clients new and existing the genetic gain you need to put some AWD lambs on the ground. The continuance of marketing your lambs with AWD Prime will be an added benefit for any breeder looking to sell quality ewe lines to re-stockers without the hassle.


Interfaced with AuctionsPlus and ran with the Elders Dubbo team. We can't wait to see you there and we'll feel your presence online as well. We'll be in touch with bidders and under bidders to see how we can better work together in 2024 onwards.


Sale starts 11am on the 14th of February 2024.

The Cobar Ram Sale has been and gone with 114 lots went to auction knocked down by Nutriens Solutions. Annalara White Dorper had a great day with Steve, Jack and Isabel attending to showcase ten of their best. Results for Annalara White Dorper were tops of $4,000 sold lots 62 and 100 and sold all ten for an average of $3,200. Great to see the confidence in the western districts of NSW and also online with two of our rams going to St George in QLD. As one of the original studs who were attending the Cobar Ram Sale it was great to catch up and see old and new clients to get together just in time before the NSW regional lockdown game into play. We always look forward to heading west as it's where the stud originated and what type of ram we wanted to breed. One that can withstand the harsh environments that western NSW can throw at you. Thank you to both Nutrien Russell and AuctionsPlus for putting the show together and allowing the 17 vendors to offer their best rams on the day.

Australian Lamb Ad
By Jack Cresswell 25 January 2021
Make lamb, not walls! 2020 has sure been a roller coaster and the new lamb ad captures just that. For the first time the Australian borders had shut residents out or in. This is the time of the year that the sheep farmers look forward to spark a spike in consumer demand for what is Australia's most loved form of protein... well we think so anyway. Did you like the ad?
