He was another May 2021-drop ram that weighed 121kg and had an EMA of 42.84.

"The Englewood Park rams are just the ideal rams for our area, and do the job consistently for the operation that we purchased for," Mr Wynne said.

"They are good, well-structured rams that produce good lambs that have plenty of meat."

He was also purchasing for long-term supporter of the stud, John Sawyer, BR & C, Swan Hill.

Englewood Park stud principal Geoff Oliver was pleased with the result.

"It was an excellent result to have a total clearance, and it faltered slightly towards the tail end but that support was still there to get the result we did," he said.

"Compared to last year our Poll Dorset average was down but our White Suffolk average was increased, which is good as clients are utilising both across their programs.

"The sale was supported very strongly by local clients from Winchelsea to Ballarat, which is always a good thing to see."

Volume buyers included Monmouth Pty Ltd and JRH Partnership, with Bernie Nevins, HF Richardson, purchasing on their behalf.

The sale was conducted by Charles Stewart Colac, with James Hadrick from HF Richardson, Ballarat, the auctioneer.
