The inaugural Top of The Range working dog auction held at Guyra on October 7th saw all 12 lots sold to a top of $6200 with an average of just under $4000. Two of the dogs passed in during the sale, sold immediately afterwards.
The Jeff Ritchie-bred Kelpie bitch Ritchies Spook by Coomoonoo Andy took the top price, going to Graham and Felicity Reeves, Gum Flat via Inverell.
Second-top-priced lot Pip, a Border Collie bitch bred by Ben Lennon, Guyra, went for $6100 to a cattle property downriver from Lawrence on the lower Clarence, along with two other dogs from the sale, making the purchasers the volume buyers.
These were the Archie Lawrence-bred Beth, a black and tan Kelpie bitch, which made $5000; and the $4900 Border Collie bitch Dunbible Creek Bonnie, bred by Daniel McLennan, Guyra, and started by champion trialler Dick Chapman, Murwillumbah.
Also making $5000 was the Dan Vidler bred Kelpie bitch Glen Ayre Rosie II, going to Nerrandera.
The sale was conducted by Elders Armidale/Guyra with Myles Williams calling up bids from 55 registered bidders, with 38 listening-in on AuctionsPlus.
Elders thanked the vendors, underbidders and successful purchasers. Also thanks to the stock providers for the cattle and sheep that were used for the demonstrations.
