Roma store sale 13 July: Numbers jump with annual ...

Yarding 6911 Change 3816

Numbers rose dramatically, up by 3,816 head to see a total yarding of 6,911 at the Roma Store Sale off the back of the annual sale of a large run of quality local weaners.

Additionally numbers were boosted by the Maranoa Regional Council’s donation of 50 percent selling fees to the RFDS.
