Munna Wiltipoll Sale 19th Feb 2011
Total Clearance at Auction for Munna Wiltipoll Sale
On Saturday 19th February 2011, Munna Wiltipolls held their 6th on property Wiltipoll Sale.
The vendors were Harry and Jill Powell and Anna and Tom Dunlop of Munna Wiltipoll Flock No 8, Coolah, Neil and Ann Kennedy of Yuma Wiltipoll Flock No 170, Coonamble and Peter and Judy Colless of Carthona Wiltipoll Flock No 13, Wingham.
Buyers came from NSW, Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia, with all the sheep being very keenly sought after by very spirited bidding and all the sheep offered were sold at auction.
The auctioneer, Bill Tatt, of Christie and Hood, says it is the first stud sale he has conducted where there was a total clearance at auction. Bill is an “old” bloke!! who been auctioneering for many years, at too many sales to count, which makes this a wonderful result.
Rams averaged $1391 for 22 rams with a top price of $2500 for Carthona 348 who was purchased by Bastian and Erica Seidel from Misima Wiltipoll Flock No 273, Hobart, Tasmania and 2nd top of $2400 for Munna 884 who was purchased by Peter & Judy Colless of Carthona Wiltipoll Flock No 13, Wingham, NSW
Ewes averaged $573 for 66 ewes with a top price of $750 for both Munna 1078 and Munna 1084 purchased by Ian and Loris Hopwood, Reavesdale Wiltipoll Flock No137, Murringo, NSW.
Ewe lambs (6 months old) averaged $418 for 20 lambs with a top of $475 each for 5 Yuma ewe lambs sold to Whitehouse, of Merriwa.
Volume buyer was once again Tim Martin of Bundarra, NSW who purchased 12 ewes for an average of $491 and 10 ewe lambs for an average of $412.    
It was wonderful to see many repeat buyers back again and to also welcome new buyers. The offering of 108 sheep were sold to 22 different buyers
Munna sold 6 month old Wiltipoll fat lambs in Dubbo on Monday 14th February for $148 so the breed has become very well accepted by the market and will continue to grow in market share as more Wiltipoll sheep become available.
 
Munna Wiltipoll Sale 2010
On Saturday 20th February 2010 Jill & Harry Powell and Anna & Tom Dunlop held their annual on property Wiltipoll Sale at  Munna, Coolah
It is amazing what a difference a month can make!. At New year the sheep were looking very ordinary as 2009 was an extremely dry year, but after the wonderful rain at Christmas nad New Year and the subsequent feed that rapidly followed the rain, the sheep we presented for the sale were looking wonderful.
We are very pleased to see both repeat and new buyers and after a pretty tough day for our Auctioneer, Biil Tatt, we were extremely pleased to sell all the ewes for a top of $350 and an av of $305 and 19 rams for a top of $1350 and an av of $650 giving us a 98% clearance.
The top price of $350 for ewes was paid by Greg Spinks of Mudgee who purchased 3 ewes and also by Tim Martin of Cameron's Creek who purchased 40 ewes for an av of $305.
The top priced ram was purchased by Maree and Lance Hodges form Narrabri. Lance and his father Ted have been purchasing Wiltipoll sheep for 14 years and we value their continued support.
It is very good to see the majority of the rams go to commercial breeders, as this is where our future lies.
Neil and Ann Kennedy sold 20 ewe weaners for a top of $300 and an av of $231 which was a great result given that the sheep had been through drought form birth to Christmas and then two floods since Christmas.
We look forward to a better season this year for everyone and we hope to be presenting more sheep at our next sale at Munna on 19th February 2011.
On Monday 15th February 2010 we sold 6 and 7 month old Wiltipoll/merino cross lambs in Dubbo for $113 which was a very pleasing result after the season they had been through. The wool shedding breeds have their own designated area in the Dubbo sale yards and have become very acceptable to the buyers.

A total clearance of stud ewes topping $650 and selling to new and repeat clients was the highlight of the annual Munna Wiltipoll Sale at Coolah on 21st February 2009.  The sale was held on behalf of Jill and Harry Powell of "Munna" Coolah and Neil and Ann Kennedy of "Yuma" Coonamble.  All sheep presented were total shedders and were in great condition.  It was good to see both familiar faces and some newcomers at the sale and we hope that all purchasers will be happy with their sheep.
Munna's 57 top grade spring drop '05 ewes sold to a top of $650 and averaged $418 for a total clearance with return buyers Maxine and James Blackburn, "Tunbridge Homestead" Merriwa, buying 6 ewes to average $588.  Yuma's offering of 22 spring '08 weaner ewes also cleared averaging $243.
The rams were a bit tougher to sell with 8 of the 20 offered selling to $1100 with an average of $938.  Peter Seccombe of Mudgee purchased the top selling ram for $1100 and it was pleasing to see half of the rams going to new buyers.  26 stud ewes were purchased by a new buyer Tim Martin "Yarrawonga" Kentucky for average of $408 and a ram for $800.
The proceeds of the first pen of ewes, $1200 were donated equally between the Victorian Bushfire Appeal and the Queensland Flood Appeal.
