GENUINE Riverina-bred sheep commanded the top money at the 77th annual special sheep sale at Urana today.
There were just under 12,000 sheep penned which sold to a top of $216.
The top draft were 172 Pooginook-blood Merino ewes bred by regular vendors Andrew and Katrina Dore, “Bimbadeen”, Urana.
They were bought by Urana re-stocker Phillip Jones, “Skelbrook”.
The 2008-drop ewes were scanned-in-lamb with April-drop twins.
The majority of joined Merino 2010-drop ewes hovered around the $170-$190 mark.
Five-year-old Merino ewes made from $88 to $147, SAMM ewes made to $175, and Merino wethers sold from $60 to $104.
