Prestige Ram and Ewe Auction @ Graaff Reinet


The Eastern Cape Dorper Club had their Prestige Ram & Ewe Auction at Graaff Reinet on the 20th of January 2011.
Thanks for the warm welcome I received from everybody.

Nice to have met some of the breeders and had very nice discussions with them.

The dorpers on sale were of an outstanding quality.

The results and photo's of the auction can be found under our news link http://www.dorpersa.co.za/news look under Eastern Cape Club Auction (20-01-2011)

If this is an indication of things to come for the year; we will have a great year!

The auctioneers Hobson & Co. did a wonderful job and the organization by the EP Club was great.

What was interesting to me is that the certified pregnant ewes were sold for much more than those not pregnant. Maybe this is something to take note of.
