2025 Sale Rams 

This year’s sale rams are a tremendous draft of high quality genetics.
Our focus on wool quality and staple length over the last 25 years has come to the fore in this year’s sale rams.
These superior Dohne wools along with the renowned Macquarie growth rates deliver the ultimate balanced sheep.
These rams are May to July drop and are unhoused running on predominantly perennial grass pastures. As with our policy (except during drought) these rams have never received any grain or pellet in any form nor have they been run on irrigation.
This is the largest offering of Dohne rams at a single vendor auction in Eastern Australia giving clients a large selection.
Sires from 2 families with 19 sires represented in the sale offering clients a large genetic pool, with 165 rams up for auction.

Macquarie continued it’s exemplary success at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show (ASWS) in Bendigo.
