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. GOLDALEA Goldalea is situated 34 km north east of Hamilton at the foot of the Grampian s.

17 ONE OAK POLL One Oak Poll was established 51 years ago in The property is located 45kms North of Jerilderie and is predominately Riverina plains and Boree country. 500 acres of cereal crops. are also grown annually. The Stud was founded on One Oak ewes and a Stud Park North Sire. Genetics were originally bought in from Bundamar, Merriville, Collinsville, Pooginook, Glenroy and Morundie Park. One Oak Poll sire Columbus had an impact on the Stud in late 1980 s. Since 1990 One Oak No.2 sire, B32(Merriville Ringmaster), has had an influence. This sires great grandsons won Grand Champion Poll Ram at Dubbo, and also at Sydney Royal. In 1996 semen from Collinsville 540 was used with success. His progeny, Mr Ed, won Grand Champion Poll Ram and Reserve Grand champion Ram Dubbo. These genetics injected more size, staple length and style, with correct structure. In , seven Wilimenup sires were used, including Sir Winston, creating a significant influence on the Stud. In 2010, Collinsville Majestic was used in an embryo transfer program to top One Oak/No2 ewes, which have then been used with success at One Oak Poll. Quality medium wool, size and fleece weight were a focus during the 1980 s, with a direction towards more nourished, stylish wool in the 1990 s. Since 2000, stabilizing breeding of a productive dual purpose Poll Merino with quality medium wool has been the focus. The five-year average micron of One Oak Poll is 20. The best of One Oak, One Oak No.2 ewes have been used in our stud through E.T and A.I. programs, over the past four years. Many of the Studs current progeny are by rams, descended from these joinings. ORRIE COWIE Mr T.A. Murdoch started the Orrie Cowie flock in 1937 with mated Kalabity ewes, selecting animals with open faces, sound backs and nourished, heavy cutting fleeces. Average ewe fleece weights increased from 4.3kg to 5.7kg and yields increased to 60% as dust penetration decreased. His son, Mr Vic Murdoch continued selecting breeding stock with large frames and superior wool quality and cut. He added a draft of mated Brewarrina ewes (low micron, Peppin blood) to the flock. Adult ewe wool cuts increased to 6.8kg and today cutting 9kg of stylish white, soft-jandling fleece of 21µm measuring 130mm in a very good year. The Merino stud was registered in 1965 and the Poll Merino stud registered in In 1999 Vic s son-in-law and daughter, Dennis and Heather Dalla purchased the Orrie Cowie Merino stud and a third of the Poll Merino Stud. They continue to select Australia s best breeding stock, knowing the value of the Orrie cowie elite wool qualities in reducing dust penetration, fleece rot and the incidence of flystrike. 15

We registered our Poll Merino Stud in Pendarra wool clip won Elders Southern Supreme Clip of the Year for 2013/14 sales. POLL BOONOKE Poll Merino Flock No 1 Principal: Australian Food & Agriculture Company Limited Stud Manager: Angus Munro A strong belief in the potential of polled Merinos led Otway Falkiner to establish the Poll Boonoke Stud in Now, after 80 years of dedicated polled Merino breeding, the Poll Boonoke sheep remain inherently fertile and early maturing; big framed, plain bodied Merinos growing heavy fleeces of long stapled, soft, medium wool. Eighty years ago in 1937 Otway Falkiner offered the first Poll Boonoke rams to the industry. Polled Merinos have now firmly established their place in the industry and the modern Poll Boonoke sheep are ideally suited to the Merino industry s requirement for streamlined, dual purpose, profitable Merino production. Poll Boonoke Ram Auction on Wednesday 13 September at Boonoke. Private selections by appointment. 16

19 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 both subjectively and objectively, with the use of Australian Sheep Breeding Values in the Merino Select program over the last six years. Recent management advances include the use of DNA testing, electronic tags and the Pedigree Matchmaker system, which combined, have increased both production and pedigree accuracies. Ridgway continues its long-term selection for free growing, white and sharp crimping wools with an extra emphasis on nourishment and staple length combined with fibre density. All sheep are shorn twice a year at intervals of between 5-7 months depending on seasonal conditions, with the aim of cutting between 60 and 70 millimetres at each shearing, which is in line with increasing market preference. Other benefits of twice-a-year shearing include faster growth and maturity of young stock, ease of lambing, particularly in maiden ewes and the removal of the necessity to crutch. The Ridgway flock is highly fertile, consistently recording 115 to 125 per cent lambs weaned. Ridgway s Annual on Property ram sale of 160 rams is on Monday, August 14th at Kulkarni. Select rams will also be offered at Hamilton Sheepvention, Classings Classic and Adelaide Ram Sale. Details: Ric & Gail , Matt or u ROSEVILLE PARK Roseville Park Merino stud was founded in 1938 and is located at Dubbo in the Central west of 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 ewe breeding flock consists of 3,200 breeding ewes which this year tested 18.0 micron and had an average fleece weight of 8.86Kg. 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 also one of only a few stud s that is benchmarked to and leading the industry in every possible way through Central Test Sire Evaluation, Information Nucleus Flocks, Merinoselect, wether trials, fleece shows, flock ewe competitions, and the show and sale ring. Last year saw some outstanding results for the stud including a top price of $26,000 and selling 207 rams at auction to average $2995. Client results included two first placing s in ewe hogget competitions and wether trials, top prices at wool selling centres and surplus sheep sales up to $198/ head. Roseville Park sells over 120 rams into the Hamilton area alone and will again hold their annual ram sale at The Grange Selling Complex at Clifton, Hamilton on Monday 31st October, offering 45 quality Merino and Poll Merino Rams. Client services include free sheep classing and consultancy and free ram delivery. Enquiries can be directed to Matthew Coddington or www. rosevilleparkmerinos.com.au 17

20 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 2017 Field Day on Friday, October 20. Our 7th On Property Ram Sale (80 Rams) will be held on Tuesday, October 24. Enquiries welcome - Pat Millear Principal - Rob Russell Stud Classer TERRICK WEST 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. 18

21 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. 19

CHAPTER TWO - STANDARD TERMS OF SALE 4. Subject to any reserve price, and to the right, prior to the fall of the hammer, of the vendor to withdraw any lot without declaring the reserve, the highest bidder shall be the buyer. 5. The auctioneer has the right to bid on behalf of the vendor provided that right is notified prior to the commencement of the sale and is subject to State law. 6. A bid cannot be made or accepted after the fall of the hammer unless, in accordance with clause 8, the auctioneer decides to put the lot up again. 7. The last price called by the auctioneer at the fall of the hammer shall be the amount at which the lot has been sold. 8. In the event of a disputed bid, the auctioneer is the sole arbitrator of the successful bidder or the auctioneer may decide to put the lot up again. The auctioneer s decision is final. 9.

During the time for rejection the buyer may reject any animal which is lame, blind or diseased where that condition existed prior to the fall of the hammer but could not be reasonably observed when the animal was in the selling pen. If the purchaser rejects an animal during the time for rejection then the sale of that animal is cancelled and the animal is returned to the vendor or sold on such terms as any buyer and the agent may agree, after the agent has disclosed the reason for rejection to that buyer. This sub-clause applies only to cattle which are sold in Queensland at auction for slaughter. The agent has responsibility for the prevention of loss or escape (but not death, sickness or injury) of those cattle from the time of the fall of the hammer, through delivery to and from the scales, to the buyer s delivery pen and on to the buyer s nominated transport. This responsibility ends at the earlier of those cattle boarding the buyer s nominated transport or sunset on the day after the sale. This sub-clause does not apply if the agent makes an announcement to that effect prior to sale. 51

54 19. (a) Subject to the right of rejection in Clause 18, all conditions and warranties expressed or implied by law are hereby excluded from the sale to the extent that the law allows. All lots are open for inspection prior to the commencement of the sale and are sold with all faults, if any. No compensation shall be given for any faults, imperfections, errors of description, number in or of any lots sold or otherwise.

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) does not acquire title to the livestock; (b) holds the livestock as bailee only for the vendor; (c) must act in a fiduciary capacity in its relationship with the vendor; (d) must store the stock separately or so that they are readily distinguishable from other livestock owned by the buyer; (e) is responsible for the safety and well being of the livestock; (f) 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 (g) 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) 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 (b) 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. 52

55 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) when this clause does not apply, as agent of the vendor (including by reselling the livestock); and (b) 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) 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 (b) 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) by this clause 23, other than as it expressly provides; or (b) 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. 53

56 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) the buyer will be entitled to delay payment for the price of all livestock in that lot only; or (b) 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; 54

57 (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) 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; (b) (c) 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) bruising, (b) fever, (c) partial condemnation, or (d) 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) to abstain from bidding; or (ii) to bid to a limited extent only; or (iii) 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. 55

58 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.
