The buyer of both the $13,500 top-priced Dorper ram and $5000 top-priced White Dorper ram at the 2023 BreedElite Eastern Region Dorper and White Dorper Sale at Dubbo on Friday were the same bidder.
Clayton Mack, Macks Dorpers and White Dorpers, Inglestone, Qld, snapped up some quality stock to kick off his stud, mainly to breed some quality rams to lift the value of his commercial flock, which includes just over 2000 ewes.
Mr Mack runs the sheep with his father, David, who has previously also run a Dorper stud as well as being a former Queensland breed president.
Clayton said the aim was to get more value from their limited area of 1012 hectares where the sheep were run by lifting the flock’s quality.
