With 110 rams finding buyers, Yentrac co-principal Katie Shapcott said she was pleased with the turnout and result.
“It’s nice to have our return and repeat buyers as well as new buyers,” she said.
Ms Shapcott said they were encouraged by the satisfying result.

The top price achieved on the day was $3500 for one Poll Dorset ram.
This was bought by Tallygaroopna’s Ian Sandilands and was chosen for its strong muscle.
The average across the three breeds was $1570.
Ms Shapcott said it was encouraging to see higher-than-average prices at the sale.
The high prices follow a mild winter that produced good feeding conditions.
The sale was held at Yentrac’s Tatura property on Wednesday, September 30.
