In the working dog auction, the winning dog sold for a whopping $16,000 unheard of in the central west. He was a border collie named Jack.
For sheep and wool the winning Ewe went to Ian Macdonald from Bloomfield at Blackall and the winning pen went to Springlea at Blackall.
Flock Sheep Judge Mike Pratt said he had chosen the pen because of their “magnificent wool“.
“They had a good weight, a very good line of beautiful woolen sheep, well-grown and well covered.
“The wool shows good character, very light soft handling – a very productive and profitable line of sheep.“
Mr Pratt said the winning ewe was chosen because of her size and “lustre of wool“.
“A very high commercial value sheep.“
