Glen Devon Poll Dorset sale tops $5000 at Two Wells with 69 rams sold
Summary
The Glen Devon Poll Dorset sale at Two Wells on Monday returned a sale high of $5000 and an average of $1310, with 69 of the 83 rams offered finding buyers. The primarily April 2025-drop offering comfortably outperformed 2025, when 49 of 89 rams sold to a top of $3000 for a $1139 average. The stud sold 20 more rams than the previous year.
Bulk orders from loyal clients underpinned the result, with support from the Victorian Mallee, Mid North and South East placing a solid floor under the sale. A shift to continuous cropping in the local area has constrained buyer numbers, making that outside support significant in clearing rams.
PSB & Sons Proprietary Limited, buying through Platinum Clare, took 18 rams at a $1177 average. Sterita Park Pastoral, Lucindale, finished with 16 rams on their card at a $1406 average, while a buyer from Ouyen, Victoria, purchasing for himself and on behalf of several Victorian Mallee clients, took 15 rams at a $1246 average.
The top-priced Lot 2 ram was knocked down at $5000 to another South East buyer and is headed to stud duties at Robe for Mulgundawa Poll Dorsets, part of the Richmond Park White Suffolk and Mulgundawa Poll Dorset operation. The twin-born April 2025-drop son of Glen Devon 293-23 recorded the highest terminal carcase production index in the catalogue at 156.3 and ranked close to the highest on eye muscle depth at 2.9. Nutrien and Elders conducted the sale.
