Pen of 6 and 7 month old Wiltpoll/Merino cross lambs sold for $113 Dubbo 15th February 2010
We were very pleased with this result as these lambs had suffered a very dry season.
The wool shedding breeds have their own designated area in the Dubbo sale yards and have become very acceptable to the buyers.
