States’ Year in Review NSW
What a year we have had, it’s not often the wool, lamb and mutton markets are all red hot at once. The Dohne breed is really proving itself again with some fantastic results in the sale pens, on the wool floor and over the hooks.
Ram sales this year have been no exception with all studs’ averages improving from last year. Four hundred and seventy six (476) rams sold to a state top price of $21,000 from Macquarie Dohne Stud, with Gullendah Dohne Merino Studs and Calga Dohnes reaching a top of $6,000 and Kardinia Dohne Merino Stud and Harewood Dohnes both topping at $3,800.
The state’s top average for 2026 was again Macquarie, recording $3,842, a huge $882 above last year’s. Calga followed, averaging $3,139, with Gullendah next averaging $2,755, with all three studs achieving 100% clearance.
Another major highlight was inaugural NSW Dohne Prime Lamb Schools Competition , with 26 schools from across NSW competing against each other to educate the future industry leaders on how the Dohne can perform in all environments. The committee and sponsors need a huge congratulations as it was an exceptional event.
Good luck everyone for the year ahead, let’s hope the season keeps with us and the profits keep coming in.
