00:006,000, we're all smiling, I'm in 6,000 Marion, I'm in 6,000 dollar bed, on the phone, I'm in 6,000 dollar bed, do it, 6,000, all done, 6,000 dollars.
00:14Yes, I'm very happy, yeah, very happy considering how the sheep came up, they came up quite well with the weather they've been through, the conditions, and yeah, we're happy with the amount we've sold today, especially the top price of 6,000, which is a very good top price.
00:29Breeding them over for over 70 years, and we've sort of kept that same traditional type throughout that whole time, large framed and a lot of wool cut through them, yeah, and that's what a lot of people want to have, that wool cut to fill the bales.
00:44Yeah, five or six, and there was a cheap ram at the end there that I thought was cheap, that was a good sheep, and so I got it too, so it's what I require for the next 12 months.
00:57I'm hoping to have more ewes to join next year, so, and the way things are changing with the meat in the merino lamb industry, and that sort of thing, I want it cheap with a good frame,
01:13to put over my ewes that currently have a reasonable frame over them, so that I can perhaps meet that lamb market for the future, and cutting a good volume of wool, so, and I think I'm getting that with these sheep.
