EVENTS OF THE YEAR PAST
Hopetown National Meatmaster Sale - 11 August 2010
(In the photo: Mr. Nico Louw who purchased the most expensive ram CRC 8198 for R 30 000)
The Meatmaster National Elite Sale was a huge success! We would like to thank all the breeders who made the effort of joining us on the day of our National Sale. The standard of this years sale was very high and therefore everyone was well pleased with the presentation of the sheep. The average price for rams was R6 213 out of 65 rams. The Average price for ewes was R2568 for just over 80 ewes. These prices may not seem much to many other breeds, but for such a young breed and one with such low input cost all the sellers where well pleased. The most expensive ram was CRC 8198 of Collett Farming CC and it was bought by Mr. Nico Louw for R30 000.

We would also like to thank everyone who came from far to attend the two days.

As in the past, Rustenburg did not disapoint us. Our breeders come from far and wide to sell their genetics to help those in Rustenburg to establish a healthy market. Our Expo was also a huge success and we would like to thank Mr. JP du Plessis and Mr. J Morrison for handling the Expo for us, it is much appreciated. It is always comforting to know that the breed is being led by breeders who places the importance of the breed before self gain. We would like to thank all the buyers for supporting us, and we will do our best to continue improving the Meatmasterso that it will make you more profit in nature. The Meatmaster sale on 4 June was well attended with very satisfying prices. Out of 48 ewes the average price was R1 420 and the most expensive ewe was R 7 500.
