The sale was a great success and was terrifically supported by the local farming community. Out of an entry of 102 rams, only 12 failed to find new homes and vendors went home well satisfied with their days trading.

A glorious day and a marvellous set up ensured that this inaugural sale will surely become a successful yearly event.
