Hi All

The July Auction was very rewarding day. We had fine weather until well after the close when a few showers arrived but most patrons would have made it home safe and dry. There was a good attendance and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

There were 156 registered bidders and 47 individual sellers. There were 4 stall holders selling feed and poultry related goods. All pens were booked prior to Sunday but one seller withdrew due to unforeseen circumstances, one failed to come with no explanation and a couple did not take all their pens .Luckily some sellers had extra stock to utilize the empty cages.

Bidding was brisk. There were four pens fetched $200.00 or more, seven reached over $150.00 and twenty three passes the $100.00 mark while many other lots attained good figures. Over two thirds of pens were sold during the auction and many more traded later.

There were only about 20 fertile egg lots available due to the cold snap putting birds off the lay and all but one was sold.

Don’t forget that eggs will be accepted in the October Auction.

The Raffle was popular with major prizes of 3 Araucana pullets from Clint and Bridget Worden. A nice pullet and a selection of bird treats from Sun Valley and bags of feed from Woodend Poultry, Birds R Us. Kyneton Stock Feeds and Taramede Market.

The club would like to thank all our patrons for their loyalty and goodwill. It is much appreciated.

Big thank you to all our members who contributed to the success of this and all our sales

Our next auction will be Sunday 13/10/2019.
Regards Ian B
