Ram Sales in Sydney Show Prices Dip at Annual Sale
The Sydney ram sales concluded after the sheep show with generally lower values than last year. Higher costs and market softness reduced prices, though buyers remained active and the overall sale atmosphere was positive. Prominent buyers included Clarke and Wall and the Dunshian Stud, with top guineas reaching 2600. The opening ceremony, led by US Ambassador Pete Jarman, left a strong impression and reflected broader economic concerns for the wool industry.
