50 years strong at Kurralea’s annual sale
Selling more than 300 rams to a flurry of new and longstanding clients was a fitting way for Kurralea studs to celebrate two milestone years of ram breeding.
Ben, Lucy and Kim Prentice of Ariah Park held their annual on-property sale on Tuesday 30 September, with results reflecting both confidence in the Kurralea program and the current state of industry.

All 332 Poll Dorset and White Suffolk stud and flock rams sold to a top price of $10,000 and for an overall average of $1754.
Rams for every environment at Kurralea
Watching rams bred at Kurralea thrive in all different environments, and add value to the operations they enter, still amazes Ben Prentice.
“Year in and year out, getting to sale time and seeing where they end up is a highlight,” he said.
