00:00Hi, and welcome back to another episode of The Land's Last Lot, where we take a look
00:03at some of the stud sale trends and results over the past fortnight.
00:07I'm journalist, Elke Demny.
00:09And I'm livestock editor, Rebecca Nagy.
00:11Well, it's been another busy, busy fortnight with ramp sales.
00:15Elke, what have you noticed?
00:16Yeah, so Bec, agents across the state have said that the season's held firm to better
00:21throughout all breeds, with most sales seeing a slight increase to last.
00:25The main driver of this has been a demand for volume and increased confidence across
00:29the industry.
00:31Increased confidence is always good news.
00:33In the Marinos, there have been some good results.
00:36Mumble Bones sold 344 of 381 rams to average $3,017, with a South Australian buyer taking
00:44the top ram for $14,000.

00:52Marinos, with the Studs selling 101 of 120 rams to average $2,227.
