The world record price for a ram was AU$450,000 for JC&S Lustre 53, which sold at the 1988 Merino ram sale at Adelaide, South Australia. In 2008, an Australian Merino ewe was sold for AU$14,000 at the Sheep Show and auction held at Dubbo, New South Wales. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merino Makes a nice change to a while back when many sheep weren't individually worth the price of a bullet. I've a friend that was given around seven hundred back then. The price for non-Merino varieties has improved somewhat. |

I thought I read some guy went to jail for downloading Simpson's porn. Going to jail for x-rated cartoons seems pretty loony to me. Maybe I got the story wrong. Didn't know you could see full nudity on television. I'm confused but that's normal for me.

Man, you guys know how to do business - the sellers, anyway Did you ever have a sheep like Shrek? Apparently, no one could catch this guy, not people, not even dogs. So no one sheared him for six years When he was finally caught, it is said he was carrying more than 25 kilograms of wool. Here he is: |

I had one that went feral around taildocking time and consequently bought much less at the saleyard (amid much tut-tutting ), than his brothers. He was still perfectly healthy though. (They dock the tails and shear their crutches so they don't get fly-blown.) Thankfully i have no experience at all with the latter. The mongel variety i had tend to shed their fleece, if not shorn annually. Although there are Merinos on the Eastern side of the state where i live it tends to be too wet in the West, where i am and Merinos are prone to footrot, or so i was told. |

But this isn't typical in Australia, because they are all such nice people, right? So I know you are kidding |
