Nerstane Merino Stud Ram & Ewe Sale
Each year, Nerstane Ram Sale follows a set program: a selection of both stud and commercial ewes start the sale at 12.30pm; the single pens’ auction is at 1pm and then it is followed by the auction of the pens of three. All rams are sold in paddock condition ready to work.
With the exception of a small number of special 2 year old rams at the start of the sale and a few rams chosen for show later on in the year, the single penned rams on offer are the tops of the drop.
Every ram has had the same feed and have been run together since they were weaned in the previous year. While it is always tempting to give a few of the better ones a top paddock and a self-feeder we feel it is more important for our clients to be comparing “apples with apples” every year that they come to the Nerstane sale.
Over 200 rams are usually sold on the day. They offer these numbers so that they can cater for everyone… from speciality stud clients right through to bulk flock ram purchasers. Both the ewe and the ram auction is integrated with Auctions Plus so if you can’t make it on the day you may bid from home if that is your preference.
All rams for sale are penned on the concrete so you can see absolutely everything. Recent actual tests, histograms and body weights in addition to the latest SG data is displayed on each ram.
And of course, John, Hamish and Jock are all on-hand to discuss your requirements and to answer any specific questions you may have about a certain animal.
