23.01.2022 Yesterday we offered and sold 12 rams at The Classings Classic ram sale to a top of $12000, to the O’Brien Poll Stud, and an average of $5875. Thank you to all buyers and underbidders for your support. Your next opportunity to buy Ridgway genetics is on Friday at the Adelaide ram sale.

21.01.2022 Got sheep to shear but is a bit wet outside on one of those rare SA days where we have seen rain? No issue for Scott and Emily at Morton Stud today as they get... ready for thier Ram Sale on the 15th October. With 2 shearing trailers set up underneath, dry rams, and new #Atlex yards made short and easy work of it today and no hassles from the rain that managed we managed to see. Looking forward to attending the sale in a few weeks. #Spanlift #YardCovers

17.01.2022 The classing of the 2015 & 2016 drop Balmoral MLP/AMSEA trial is always full of highlights and one I look forward to yearly at Michael and Jane Craig’s ‘Tuloona’ just out of Harrow Vic. With the classing and measurement of every merino trait possible per ewe over the last six & five years, the data accuracies are maximised letting us identify just what part of a ewe’s life typifies the most ideal for all-trait predictability. This in turn can only build up confidence and subsequent accuracies within the ASBV system particularly, including the important added bonus of Adult trait results hence MLP - Merino Lifetime Performance Trial.

17.01.2022 Jumping into the weekend Like: It wasn't all smooth sailing getting the individual ram video's for AuctionsPlus, but we eventually got there. All Rams are now lotted with the catalogue and video's coming to you very soon.

13.01.2022 A great welcome back to Classic’20 by the Prime fellas with two magnificent polls representing what the industry needs right now...free skins, max production! Great promotion Scotty and more than some...

11.01.2022 One missing ingredient....

10.01.2022 Ferried it over to Kangaroo Island the day after the successful Leahcim sale to catalogue the Ella Matta young rams for the Heinrich family. Same goes here as well with high accuracy ASBV’s for many traits matching seriously whiter, quality fibre on a well built chumpy carcass. (See pic) Wallaloo Park, Leahcim and Ella Matta genetics are its very best ever for the On Property Sale - Friday October 9th. See the link here for full catalogue details.... https://222d8819-4039-43b8-bd2c-64df20377107.filesusr.com/

09.01.2022 Was a pleasure to have the Forest Spring lineup as part of the mighty Classic’20. This great looking team backed up by some serious numbers helped push the sale to a record average since its inception in 2002. Congrats to Bruce from afar! Next year a beer after the sale....

08.01.2022 Rob Thiele is in the middle of shearing yet never lets us down with bringing panels to every Classic to use as ram guides to their respective pens on sale morning. Cheers mate

08.01.2022 Gotta be rapt with today’s highest ever average for a Classic sale amongst a little bit of global turmoil at the minute. A big thanks to all of the studs for their participation, the fantastic gallery of buyer support, the generous sponsors and the magnificent new Murray Bridge Racing Club staff and facilities for making today a total success. Happy!

08.01.2022 Classings welcomes back Spanlift to this year’s Classic’20 sale with a trade site exhibiting all you need to know regarding shearing shed design, sheepyard cover and all things structural to keep you and stock sun and rain protective. Thank you to Charles Grace for a late call for sponsorship.

07.01.2022 It’s been a couple of years gap since my last ewe hogget classing at Netallie Station just this side of Wilcannia NSW for obvious reasons. Great to be back in the classing race to witness these, just on one year old ewe weaners, in absolute top order exhibiting great carcass traits and correct fibre density. Add to that no neighbouring pharkin’ dorper intrusion thus making it a perfect couple of days! The fibre pictured hitting 60mm all day at only four months growth - a cred...it to the McClure family’s management combined with favourable rainfall events and genetics. Poll rams here are predominantly selected by yours truly across a few studs as to not let any form of quality fall by the wayside and helped by a realistic budget. This is essential as opposed to the awkward term ‘station order’ ram consignment sent to the bush that really only deserve a one way ticket to the Middle East. Structural soundness and correct density is as important here as it is anywhere in the state. Genetics: Pimbena, Lucernbrae, Ramsgate, Borung & Mernowie. Good to catchup Jeremy, James, Kimbo and Pete!

07.01.2022 A great result for Flairdale with two of the best figured polls in the catalogue to match their growth and easy care skins - both PP’s and UNMULESED!! A stud genuinely breeding for the industry’s future. Lee’s purchase: YWT 11.2 YCFW 22.6 YEMD 0.5 DP+ 194 Flairdale 190028... Les’s purchase: YWT 9.0 YCFW 33.6 YSL 12.8 YEMD 0.6 DP+ 183 Flairdale 190212

06.01.2022 Él es Matías Nuin, un joven y reconocido esquilador de 28 años, que se propuso superarse y logró marcar su récord en la Patagonia. Esquiló a 24 mil ovejas en es...ta temporada, con un ritmo de un minuto por cada una. Impresionante! Un menuquense, que desde los 15 años deja su pueblo para seguir la tradición familiar.

Tal como lo hacia su abuelo y su padre, lleva con orgullo nuestra identidad rionegrina. ¡Felicitaciones! #OrgulloRionegrino

03.01.2022 There’s a creeper out there at the minute with the possibilities of the Steining/Freeze Branding technique for the removal of excessive skin from lambs being categorised as unmulesed!! A total insult to those enterprises, stud and commercial, that have genetically bred there way into Merino’s that require no mulesing whatsoever and haven’t done so for up to fifteen years! One of my favourite progressive clients is also fed up and making a stand by advertising the same fact t...hat there really are genetics of choice to make the switch quite simple. More to come but please share the bejingos out of this for general awareness - there’s some politics involved here too of course....

03.01.2022 Just spreading the word. If you know of anyone that's bought one lately, they might want to check it's temperature.

03.01.2022 The SA Sire Evaluation Field Day at McPiggery’s Marama property near Karoonda can only be deemed as a great success. Around 100 visitors on the day inspected the 2019 drop Trial progeny and as a bonus the 2020 drops were penned as well - no mean feat can I add!! Much of the credit goes to the backbone of this enterprise, Duane Symonds and capable staff. The previous day to the Field Day saw a full day of drafting and partial setup in readiness for what turned into an informat...ive day to follow. Special mention to Anna Cameron as coordinator of all things Trial! Many Classings’ clients or studs that feature in Classic Ram Sales have entered in both drops here with all featuring well in specific traits. Calcookara, Caroonboon, Challara, Flairdale, Gunallo, Leahcim, Pepperwell, Ridgway and Wallaloo Park. Amongst many accolades, the Pepperwell sire in the 2020 drop lamb progeny had the greatest body weight gain between two measurements. There are definitely no winners or losers with these trials as most studs excel with certain traits but not all. Those who do feature well across many traits do enjoy some semen sale success or subsequent sire progeny recognition. Give me a hoy if you require further information re the 2019 drop and I’ll set you on the right path. You can also see my Trial write up in Cullings’20 Newsletter at www.classings.com.au

02.01.2022 After getting out of jail with a successful sale in Feb 2020 encompassing serious drought, Lorelmo Poll blitzed it this week with a $500 lift in average to $2,580 with another 20 polls offered and a $7,000 top gong amongst a classic season. 80 sold from 80 offered. That top price claimed at Lot 6 and selling to our Kangaroo Island clients, Gerard and Michelle Glynn - Cygnet River S.A. who eyeballed the poll on AuctionsPlus and was reassured that on sale day he looked the good...s including GFW% 126 @ 17.4u. Six top flockies went to S.E. clients Peter and Tweet Andre - Kangaroo Inn S.A. and I also selected another 6 of the same oozing high quality for Brian Wilson near Ballarat Vic. (The Andre’s sold some of the good fibre this week to a top of 1680c greasy and all up averaged over $3,000/bale.) This stud is in great nick with high end quality fibre a given yet it’s the inherent meat traits that the Lorelmo genetic hosts that surprise most. The inbuilt twist and porky back ends ensure buyer confidence reflecting a genuine ‘dual purpose’ animal - an overused term quite often not connected to some boasting enterprises! ASBV’s are next on the agenda... All the best with the new arrival Mags and Ed!

01.01.2022 This is Ramsgate’s young reserve, 190381 and bred by the sire almighty, Brookdale 014012 from a red hot mum. He’s a double poll. PP He’s NOT entered into this years SA Sire Evaluation being run at the Eckert family’s Mentara at Malinong S.A. ... What do you reckon....
