A WESTERN District stud paid the top price of $32,000 in Friday’s annual ram sale at Kedleston Park, Calivil.

It was the only purchase by Robert Plush, of Kerrsville stud, Coleraine, who first saw the 122kg ram displayed at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in July.

Kedleston Park stud principal John Humbert said strong interest at Bendigo had prompted him to include the ram in the on-property auction where 51 of 60 rams offered were sold.

John said he had included an extra 10 rams in this year’s auction where the average selling price was $3307, up from the 2021 average of $2500.
