DETPA Grove White Suffolks, Jeparit, has had another successful sale for its 12th bi-annual mated ewe sale, with stud co-principal David Pipkorn declaring he’s “very satisfied with the result”.<\/p>\n
Detpa Grove offered more than 100 ewes, with all animals sold going to studs.<\/p>\n
“There were a number of ewes that made excellent money, at the same time there were a number of animals at base price that people were able to top up on,” Mr Pipkorn said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The top-priced ewe, Lot 44, sold for $3600.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“Structurally she was an excellent ewe and is mated to a high-performance ram (Felix 211239),” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Cameron Ferguson, Tiparra Springs White Suffolk stud, Weetulta, SA, bought the ewe.<\/p>\n
Mr Ferguson said he only started his stud in 2021, branching out from his family’s Anna Villa operation.<\/p>\n
“She just has a nice, long White Suffolk head on her,” he said.\u00a0 “When you look at her in the pen, she has one of the later tags, so I am guessing she is one of the younger ewes.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
He said the ewe was a correct, strong animal with a different bloodline to the ones the stud was using.\u00a0 “Ideally I would like a ram lamb out of her, that’s my main aim,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
