The soil types range from granite on the East side of Mt. Alexander, through ironstone to basalt country on the Coliban River. The average rainfall is approximately 600mm. Each year, 13,000 adult sheep plus 5,000 lambs produce between 65,000 and 70,000kg of 15.5 to 18.0 micron wool. A commercial herd of 50 cows is also run in conjunction with the sheep enterprise. Shearing takes place annually in September/October. The production aim at Beverley is to breed large framed superfine sheep with good constitutions and a soft, well nourished staple with a strong emphasis placed on style and character.

9 GLANNA & GLANNA POLL The Glanna Merino Stud was registered in 1984 following official inspection of Glanna Ewes. The Glanna flock was founded in 1934 by the late Jack Rayner with Mudgee fine wool ewes and rams of Dalkeith blood. From 1943 to 1984 rams of Bocoble blood were used along with a small number of Merryville rams. Since 1984 thirteen Merryville Stud Rams have been added to the stud including the record priced Merryville ram at the 1989 Goulbum Ram Sale for $34,000 and a Superfine Merryville ram bought for $20,000 at the 2000 Mudgee Ram Show and Sale.

Ron Rayner (02) Jeff Rayner (02) GLENPAEN The Glenpaen Merino/Poll Merino Stud commenced an extensive AI program in 1989, using some of the best genetics available and then registered with the purchase of Snowy Plain ewes and rams. Since then we have introduced Roseville Park genetics with the purchase of rams and also using semen from some of their top sires. Montrose Hill was introduced into the stud in 2000 by purchasing their top sires. Semen purchases were introduced into the breeding regimen, from Woodyarrup in 2003 and Wallaloo Park in This is to pay more emphasis on breeding a bigger plainer bodied Merino with good constitution conformation and conversion. With the purchase of our first poll stud sire, from Roseville Park in 2009 and also using semen from other leading studs, our aim is to breed a dual purpose poll merino. Our average micron is 18.5 and we anticipate with these rams and our top sires that we have bred, will maintain our micron without sacrificing our wool cut. We are breeding big plainer bodied merinos without losing wool cut and producing long stapled white woolled productive sheep, with low coarse fibre content. We are confident these sheep are safe to take south and heavy enough cutters to take north. 7

18 RIDGWAY Ric, Gail, Matthew and Rachel Ridgway produce Poll Merinos with all the attributes of the genuine dual purpose product sought after by the progressive merino breeder. The Ridgway flock is assessed subjectively and objectively, with the use of Australian Sheep Breeding Values over the past eight years.

Ridgway s continued selection for free-growing, sharp crimping, white wools, with extra emphasis on nourishment, staple length and fibre density allows progeny to thrive in any environment. These selection criteria together with choosing animals with good early growth rate, carcase traits and correct conformation has resulted in Ridgway producing a true dual purpose product. All sheep are shorn twice a year at intervals of between five and seven months, depending on seasonal conditions, with the aim of cutting between 60mm and 70mm at each shearing. This is in line with the increasing market preference. The September 2017 clip featured 18.2 micron ewe wool which was 68mm in length, with a yield of 70.6 and tensile strength of 55, selling to 1592c greasy/2287c clean An excellent result considering these ewes had also reared 117% lambs. These lambs produced a 17.2 micron clip which sold for 1453c greasy. The Ridgway flock is highly fertile, consistently recording 115% to 125% lambs weaned.

Details: Ric & Gail , Matt or ROSEVILLE PARK Roseville Park Merino Stud was founded in 1938 and is located at Dubbo in Central West NSW. The average rainfall is 650mm and is evenly distributed throughout the year, meaning that because of regular summer rainfall events with high humidity the wool has become highly fleece rot and flystrike resistant. The sheep are run on predominantly native pastures on granite soil types. The stud s breeding ewe flock consists of 3200 breeding ewes which this year tested 17.9 micron and had an average fleece weight of 7.8 KG. The Merino stud has become one of Australia s most influential stud s influencing over 200 Merino Studs and selling rams to over 650 commercial flocks in all environments and conditions. Roseville Park is benchmarked to industry in every possible way through Sire Evaluation, Sheep Genetics, wether trials and the show and sale ring. Last year saw some outstanding results for the stud including a top price of $25,000 and selling 226 rams at auction to average $2522. Clients results include two first placing s in flock ewe competitions, the top price line of wool sold in Melbourne Sale 46G in May 2018 and clients surplus ewes selling for $261. Roseville Park sells 120 rams into the Hamilton area and will be holding their annual Hamilton, Victoria sale at Hamilton showgrounds on October 31st 2018, offering 45 horned and Poll Merino rams. Client services include free sheep classing and consultancy and free ram delivery to Victoria for rams purchased at our on property sale in Dubbo on September 20th Enquiries can be directed to Matthew Coddington

19 STUD PARK SOUTH Stud Park South Merino and Poll Merino Stud was established in Ewes and rams purchased from the dispersal of the Millear family s Buttabone Stud Park at Warren in NSW, provide the cornerstone of the Stud today. Whilst Stud Park South may be a relatively new stud, the Peppin genetics it carries are part of Merino folklore dating back to Thomas Millear and Albert Austin s joint purchase of the Wanganella Stud from the Peppin Brothers in Pat and Sarah Millear are proud to continue the family s long tradition of breeding big framed, heavy cutting merino sheep. Recently genetics from Wallaloo Park, Langdene and Coddington Poll have been added. These rams have all contributed significantly in shaping the type of sheep we are breeding today. We welcome visitors to our 2018 Field Day on Friday, October 19. Our 8th On Property Ram Sale (80 Rams) will be held on Tuesday, October 23. Enquiries welcome - Pat Millear Principal TERRICK WEST - Rob Russell Stud Classer The Terrick West Stud was founded in 1932 and over many years was based on Bundemar and Haddon Rig blood. The poll stud was founded on Poll Boonoke blood in the early 1950 s. In 1980 the horn stud was dispersed with the best ewes taken into the poll stud. We believe we are the oldest poll stud active in Victoria. Two rams were purchased from Moorundie Park in South Australia during the early 1980s. These rams bred very well adding great size and bulk to our sheep. In 1989 we purchased a fine wool ram at the Roseville Park Poll Stud dispersal and a second poll ram 3 years later. This ram was bred in the horn special stud at Roseville Park but was polled and he has proved to be an outstanding success at Terrick West. In recent years some semen from Wallaloo Park has been added with great effect. As most of our clients join some of their ewes to border leisters and other terminal sires it is important to produce large framed sheep with a plain body and a bulky deep crimped wool testing micron. These sheep are very fertile. With the concentration on soft handling deep crimped wools with high comfort factors the micron of our sheep continues to fall with most young sires now in the 17 to 19 micron range and exceeding 100kg by the time they cut their 2 teeth. The long term flock micron has been falling while wool cuts and body weights have increased at the same time. The past 3 years has seen the flock average 19 microns with grown sheep wool cut average over 8kgs. Over the last few years Terrick West has had considerable show and sale success with both stud and specially selected rams have been sold all over Australia. This shows that there is strong demand for the type of sheep we are breeding. Several Terrick West clients have achieved excellent prices for wether lambs over the hooks and high prices for surplus ewes. 17

20 THE FRINGE Briagolong, Victoria 3860 Telephone John Freeman (03) Fax (03) Mobile Clip average is 17.0 micron The Fringe was founded in 1947 with the purchase of a draft of Vallyefield ewes and one Merryville Stud ram. Since then mostly Merryville blood rams have been used, producing a heavy- cutting fine to superfine fleece with good length, style and quality nourished white wools. In the past few years the stud has sold rams threw out Australia. Superfine family Great detail is taken in keeping with traditional style wools On larger framed bodies Fine wool family The past few years we have been selecting rams for larger frames, free growing, easy care and still producing quality nourished long white wool for more profitability One of the selected rams is a half son of a stud ram sold to Orrie Cowie stud In South Australia. TOLAND POLL Toland Poll Merino originated at Omeo in 1982, comprising two thirds of the Bindawarra Stud until separation in We have been in the North East since 1988 and have developed highly productive fine merinos excelling in heavy cutting elite wool - lustrous, broad crimping and soft handling. Toland blood sheep are leading performers in wether trials and in the national Central Test Sire Evaluation Scheme. We have been benchmarking our flock with Sheep Genetics for the last 13 years. In response to the outlook for better returns for sheep meat, we are using fat and muscle depth measurements along with regular body weighing to enhance the value of our sheep. Our on property auction is held annually on the last Monday in September. Other selling sites include BenaIla, Hamilton, Ballarat and Bendigo. Our website: com.au is continually updated with current sale catalogues and what s happening on the farm. 18

No objection, requisition or claim against the vendor or agent in respect of such error or misdescription can be made after that time. Any statements made by the vendor or the auctioneer whether in writing or orally to the effect that any female has been pregnancy tested or scanned positive shall mean and require only that a certificate in writing shall be supplied to the buyer signed by a qualified veterinary surgeon or certified scanner certifying that the said female has been tested or scanned on the date specified in the certificate and that in the opinion of the surgeon or scanner was pregnant on that date. For slaughter cattle, the agent undertakes to make every reasonable effort to ensure that any NLIS cattle device number is transferred from the saleyard PIC to the purchaser s PIC on the NLIS database no later than midnight on the day of the sale. For other slaughter livestock the agent undertakes to make every reasonable effort to ensure that the NLIS information is transferred from the saleyard PIC to the purchaser s PIC on the NLIS database no later than midnight on the day of the sale. Where livestock have a food safety or market eligibility status derived from the National Vendor Declaration (NVD) and/or the NLIS/ERP database, the agent will inform the buyers by presale catalogue and/or announce the status prior to the offering of those lots. 20. If delivery is made to, or possession obtained by, the buyer or its representative before full payment of the Price, then until full payment is received, the buyer: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) does not acquire title to the livestock; holds the livestock as bailee only for the vendor; must act in a fiduciary capacity in its relationship with the vendor; must store the stock separately or so that they are readily distinguishable from other livestock owned by the buyer; is responsible for the safety and well being of the livestock; may make a bona fide sale for market value of any or all of the livestock. As between the buyer and the subsequent buyer, the sale shall be made by the buyer in its own name and not as agent for the vendor, however as between the vendor and buyer, the sale shall be made as bailee and agent for the vendor; and must keep and account for the proceeds of any subsequent sale separately from its other money and hold those proceeds, together with the benefits of any rights against subsequent buyers, on trust for the vendor. 21. In addition to clause 20, if payment is not made according to clause 15, but delivery has been made to, or possession obtained by, the buyer or its representative: (a) (b) The vendor or its agent may repossess and resell the livestock and enter property owned or occupied by the buyer or its representative if necessary to do so; and Interest may be charged at the rate usually charged by the agent for overdue accounts on any amounts which remain owing at any time. 22. The buyer may not make any claim against the vendor for actions by the vendor or its agent under clauses 20 or 21 and indemnifies the vendor and its agent against any loss, damage, costs, expenses, penalties, fines or claims suffered by the vendor, the agent or any person or entity arising from the vendor exercising its rights under clauses 20 or Clause 23 applies whenever the agent pays the vendor before being paid by the buyer, which the agent is not bound to do. The agent is then the del credere agent of the vendor at law. 54

57 23.2. The vendor hereby gives notice to the buyer of the assignments referred to in clause When this clause applies, in addition to any rights of the agent that arise by operation of the law, the parties agree that, subject to clause 23.6 the agent is subrogated to all rights of the vendor under these terms and conditions against the buyer Title to the livestock does not pass to the agent or a nominee of the agent unless the agent, by written notice to the vendor, notifies the vendor that it is to be transferred to the agent or a nominee of the agent The vendor acknowledges that the agent may take enforcement, repossession or other action to recover any livestock for which the buyer has not paid in full, or the Price of such livestock, owing by the buyer under these terms and conditions: (a) (b) when this clause does not apply, as agent of the vendor (including by reselling the livestock); and when this clause applies, on the agent s own behalf exercising the rights of the vendor by subrogation or assignment under these terms and conditions (whether in the vendor s name or not) and, where title to the livestock has not passed to the agent, by selling the livestock as agent of the vendor without the agent having to account to the vendor for the proceeds of sale The agent may at any time, assign, transfer, securitise or otherwise dispose of all or any of its rights under these terms and conditions and any debts created pursuant to it (including, without limitation, the rights assigned to it under clause 23.3) The vendor hereby irrevocably appoints the agent as the vendor s attorney to: (a) (b) do at any time and in any manner as the agent thinks fit all acts necessary or desirable to perfect or improve the rights and interests afforded, or intended to be afforded, to the agent under these terms and conditions; and appoint one or more sub-attorneys to do anything that the agent may do as the vendor s attorney These terms and conditions do not render the agent liable to the buyer as vendor nor entitle the buyer to set off against the agent any right the buyer may have against the vendor or otherwise The buyer acknowledges that the provisions of this clause 23 are intended solely for the benefit of the agent (and its assigns) and the vendor. The liabilities and obligations of the buyer will not be in any way affected: (a) (b) by this clause 23, other than as it expressly provides; or by the failure of the agent or the vendor or either of them to comply with the terms of this clause The buyer must pay all amounts payable to the vendor or the agent under these terms and conditions without any deduction, withholding, set off or counterclaim whatsoever, whether the benefit of a deduction, withholding, set off or counterclaim is alleged to exist in favour of the buyer as against the vendor or the agent in any capacity whatsoever or any other person including any assignor of the vendor s or the buyer s interests under these terms and conditions. 24. (a) The agent agrees that he is liable to pay to the vendor the Price, less such commission as is agreed between the vendor and the agent, and in the absence of any agreement such amount as is reasonable, and less the Fees that are payable by the vendor that were incurred by the agent on behalf of the vendor in relation to the sale of the livestock. (b) (c) In the event that the buyer pays the Price or part of it direct to the vendor then the agent has no liability to the vendor for the amount of such payment. Further, if the agent pays the vendor any amount which the buyer also pays direct to the vendor in respect of the same livestock, then the vendor must repay the agent that amount and the agent may debit that amount to an account held in the name of the vendor by the agent. Regardless of whether or not a sale has occurred the agent may, but is not under obligation so to do, instead of deducting payments owed to it by the vendor, debit the amount of the commission and fees to an account held in the name of the vendor by the agent. 55

58 25. (a) The auctioneer has been retained by the vendor as auctioneer for the purpose of selling the livestock comprised in the lots. The terms of engagement between the auctioneer and the vendor do not extend to the provision of advice by the auctioneer to the vendor in relation to the safety or otherwise of the sale ring, the saleyards and the surrounding environments. (b) The vendor, the agent and the buyer agree to comply with their several duties under the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for the Land Transport of Livestock and further to consign, manage, receive, transport and handle livestock in accordance with any other or additional requirements of animal welfare legislation specific to the jurisdiction in which livestock are consigned, managed, received, transported and handled in the course of the auction process. CHAPTER THREE VENDOR WARRANTY FOR CORRECT PRESENTATION AND DECLARATION 26. This chapter applies only in the case of livestock and their companion animals sold at auction for slaughter when the buyer is the slaughterer and the livestock are transported direct from the sale yard to the meatworks at which they are slaughtered. This chapter does not apply if the buyer is a trader who subsequently resells the livestock to a slaughterer. A slaughterer is any person who pays the AMPC Processor levy. 27. The warranty of a vendor is that livestock and their companion animals offered for sale at auction: (a) pass DAFF and other regulatory authority requirements and inspections at the time of slaughter; (DAFF refers to the Federal Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) (b) (c) (d) (e) are of merchantable quality; carry an NLIS device in accordance with State law; in the case where a representation has been made in the pre-sale catalogue that the livestock have particular characteristics or are fit for a particular purpose or market, and such representations are based on information in the NVD, the livestock will have those characteristics or will be fit for the particular purpose or market; and all information in any NVD provided by the vendor is true, complete and correct in all material respects. 28. In the event of a breach by the vendor of the vendor s warranty and provided such breach is notified by the buyer to the agent by 5:00pm on the 7 th day after the fall of the hammer then the buyer is not liable to pay the portion of the Price of such of the vendor s livestock to which the breach applies. 29. However if the breach by the vendor is such that the livestock are not rejected outright but are instead downgraded then the buyer will pay the value of the livestock at their next highest and best use. 30. In the case of a breach by the vendor of the vendor s warranty then the vendor will also be liable to the buyer for any further losses which the buyer might establish but the buyer will take all reasonable steps in co-operation with the agent and vendor to mitigate both the effect of the breach and the amount of any loss. 31. Where a sentinel animal of a lot tests positive for chemical residue, or foreign material contamination and provided such test is certified and notified as required by these vendor warranty terms, then: (a) (b) the buyer will be entitled to delay payment for the price of all livestock in that lot only; or the vendor has the option, at the vendor s cost, of collecting the companion animals, if allowed by law; or of having the livestock slaughtered in which event the risk of further condemnations will be that of the vendor. Where product integrity is potentially jeopardised, the Processor has the right to refuse slaughter and send the livestock back to the consigning property at the vendor s cost. 32. The auctioneer is liable to the buyer in respect of any breach of the vendor s warranty arising out of: (a) any error, by the auctioneer, of transcription of information from the NVD completed by the vendor to the pre-sale catalogue or the buyers post-sale summary; 56

59 (b) (c) any failure by the auctioneer to notify the buyer, prior to bidding, of any breach by the vendor of the warranty of the vendor if the buyer establishes that the agent knew of such breach prior to the sale; and any failure by the auctioneer to announce prior to bidding, or disclose in the pre-sale catalogue, that the vendor has failed to provide a NVD that is complete in all material aspects. CHAPTER FOUR - OWNERS RISK FOR CONDITION OF CATTLE 33. This chapter applies only in the case of cattle and their companion animals sold at auction for slaughter when the buyer is the slaughterer and the cattle are transported direct from the sale yard to the meatworks at which they are slaughtered. This chapter does not apply if the buyer is a trader who subsequently resells cattle to a slaughterer. A slaughterer is any person who pays the AMPC Processor levy. 34. Owners risk reflects the producer s responsibility to provide slaughter cattle for sale that are fit for human consumption. Cattle are fit for human consumption if they are not condemned as unfit by DAFF. Owners risk applies if the condemnation is due to a condition in the animal which the buyer establishes, by the DAFF certificate, existed prior to the fall of the hammer. 35. A buyer with the benefit of owners risk protection is not liable to pay the Price of that animal to the vendor. The buyer remains nevertheless liable for all costs incurred after the fall of the hammer in transport, slaughter, testing and disposal of the animal. 36. Owners risk protection is available to the buyer of cattle to which this chapter applies if all of the following are satisfied: (a) (b) (c) a certificate is issued by DAFF which states the relevant NLIS RFID tag number and PIC, the date of the certificate, the reason for condemnation and that the reason for condemnation existed prior to the fall of the hammer; the certificate is received by the selling agent either in its original form or by fax by 5:00pm on the 7 th day after the fall of the hammer; and if the condemnation is due to chemical residue the certificate follows testing in a DAFF approved laboratory which establishes maximum residue limits in excess of the Australian limit. 37. Owners risk does not apply, and the buyer must pay for the cattle, if the reason for condemnation is any of the following: (a) (b) (c) (d) bruising, fever, partial condemnation, or emaciation. CHAPTER FIVE - NOTICES REQUIRED BY STATE LEGISLATION NSW Legislation Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 Warnings Penalties for collusive practices. It is an offence against the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 for a person to do any of the following as a result of a collusive practice, or to induce or attempt to induce another person by a collusive practice to do any of the following: (i) (ii) (iii) to abstain from bidding; or to bid to a limited extent only; or to do any other act that might prevent free and open competition. Severe penalties may be imposed on persons convicted of collusive practices. The auctioneer has the right to make one bid on behalf of the vendor if the auctioneer clearly and precisely announces that fact prior to the sale. Tasmanian Legislation An auctioneer conducting a public auction must not appear to acknowledge the making of a bid if no bid was made. A person must not participate in collusive practices by way of making or receiving an unlawful promise to abstain from bidding, not to bid except to a limited extent or do any other thing which may prevent free and open competition. 57

60 Western Australian Legislation Auction Sales Act 1973 s31 NOTICE. It is an offence to: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) induce or attempt to induce another person to abstain from bidding by means of a promise, expressed or implied, that the other person will have the right to elect to take over as buyer or to toss or draw lots to establish who is to become the owner; abstain or agree to abstain from bidding as a result of such a promise; knowingly enter or permit or cause to be entered in the auctioneer s record any name other than that of the actual successful bidder; enter in the auctioneer s record the name of the buyer other than that of the actual successful bidder; or in the case of successful bidder supply wrong information as to the name of the buyer to the auctioneer or to any person, firm or corporation on whose behalf the sale is conducted. The vendor, or any person on behalf of the vendor, or the auctioneer have the right to make no more than three bids.
