Blue Ribbon Special Swan Hill Sheep Sale

Keri-Keri along with a number of its clients sold breeder ewes, and a selection of wethers, at the Annual Blue Ribbon Special Swan Hill Sheep Sale.
The day was wet and miserable, as Murray Arnel of the Stock & Land said in his report:

"good buying opportunities were abundant as buyers were possibly scared away by hotly contested recent sales".

The market top of the day went to Keri-Keri bred sheep from Ivanhoe. These were a line of 2009 drop Keri-Keri blood ewes from Alan & Jill Crozier of Marfield Station.
