SALE RAMS
On November the 22nd 2021, we are having our very first on farm ram auction. We made the change from selling privately for a few reasons. Firstly it meant less time in and out of the yards for the Rams and also us.
​
Secondly everyone was able to get a crack at the top sheep if they wished and also get the opportunity to view all the Rams at once.
Romdale Rams are SIL recorded, DNA tested & Eczema tested. We started dosing our rams at 0.3 and this year we have dosed at 0.45 with good results. Sires have been purchased from Awaroa & Raupuha studs. These sires having been tested & with good eczema tolerance.
​
All rams for sale have be tested and are free of Brucellosis.
