Don’t Miss The Next Production Sale

Time: 11H00

Production Sales

Since 1991, Geelbek Elite have been hosting a bi-annual Production Sale of two toothed Horned and Polled rams, at the beginning of January and July each year.  The best 60 rams are on offer at these production sales, and the breeders strive to consistently deliver excellent value for potential buyers. Merino breeders and farmers can choose stud or flock rams at affordable prices with performance test figures available in the catalogue as well as on the Geelbek Elite website. The venue is on farm Leopardsvlei, Middelburg, Eastern Cape

The rams are kept on the veld where they are performance tested. Only rams which have proved that they are hardy and robust enough to withstand these natural conditions will receive supplementary feed if necessary. The condition of the rams at the sale means they are immediately capable of serving at least 40 – 60 ewes.

Feedback from clients is that rams bought at the past sales have made a positive contribution to the improvement of the conformation and adaptability of their Merinos whilst their contribution to the length and micron reduction of wool and increased clean yield has been noticeable.

Most loyal clients have been with Geelbek Elite for over 35 years, and we remain proud of the high percentage of return buyers
after their first experience of Geelbek Elite.

Client Promise

For buyers, or a group of buyers who purchase 10 rams or more, the rams will be delivered for you.

If a buyer is not happy with a ram or it is not performing optimally, buyers should contact the breeders and the ram will be replaced

Stefan and Eric’s commitment to clients is a continued improvement in our breeding and a collaborative approach to help you reach your goals. In this way they hope to continue contributing to the Merino and Wool Industry of South Africa.

Rams are also on offer directly from the respective farms after the production sales. Please do not hesitate to contact either Stefan Naude or Stefan Bester if you are interested.
