Dohne UD080270 sells for a record $22,000 to Bill Pye of Calga Dohne stud, Coonamble. Uardry Manager, Ben Lane said the ram was a standout amongst the 2008 drop. He has a proven pedigree of several generations for both meat and wool attributes. The ram displays premium carcass traits with large hindquarters. His wool is soft, white and stylish with good density.

The ram was selected privately by James Lilburne of Australian Topstock. James said having viewed many potential sires this ram had exceptional quality; he was a standout in the Dohne breed and displayed potential as a leader in the Australian Dohne Industry.

This impressive sire has an ADBA Index of 131.3. His EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values) recorded a Body Weight of +7.37; Fleece Weight +8.44; and Micron -0.96. For those wishing to improve their gene pool, semen from UD080270 is available for purchase at $40 per dose.
