Logancrest Poll Dorset Stud was established 12 years ago, originating from Kurralea Poll Dorset Stud in Ariah Park.
The owner at the time, Jimmy Prentice, was a well-known stud breeder in the area, offering approximately 500 rams each year.
Craig and Sharon Coggan purchased stud ewe lambs from Mr Prentice for three years as they continued to establish their own flock.
“I purchased stud rams from Wejar One Poll Dorset Stud in Ungarie initially,” Mr Coggan said. “The following years, I purchased stud rams from Kurralea Poll Dorset Stud in Ariah Park and Pinewalla Poll Dorset Stud in Crookwell.
“I began with on farm auctions, which were successful and we continued to auction my rams for many years at my property at Logancrest Crookwell. The last few years, I trialled a sale by appointment day, instead of the auction, to provide farmers with a more convenient way of buying my rams.”
The Coggans schedule a date each year, where buyers could arrange an appointment time to purchase rams during the entire day at a time that suited them. This form of sale also proved to be successful for the stud. “
Logancrest Poll Dorset Stud has been offered a venue for the 2017 ram sale by the local owner of the Laggan Hotel. The hotel has a convenient and spacious large lawn area located at the rear, which is also used for major events in Laggan such as the car show that displays hundreds of vehicles each year.
“I decided to go with the offer of holding my sale at the Laggan Hotel to support a local business. The owner, Stuart Campbell, plays a big part in the thriving and friendly community of Laggan.
“I look forward to seeing previous and new buyers and hope you can join us for a sausage sizzle, provided for all vendors, and a beer voucher will be allocated to buyers per ram purchased.”
Free delivery can be organised on sale day to local areas. The auction at the Laggan Hotel will take place on Saturday, November 11 at 2pm. Viewing time commences at 12pm. The sale will be held in conjunction with Ryanah Border Leicester Stud owned by Greg and Karen Waters and XX Sylviavale Border Leicester Stud owned by Terry McIntosh.
