Avenpart has had a very sad 2023 with the loss of Verve and Gellybean early to blue green algae poisoning from flood water. Later we lost our old sire Av. Zeus to a heart attack. At the end of November our young sire Av. Eveready was run over by a motorist ignoring more than adequate signage on the Cobb Highway whilst droving more that 2,000 Merino lambs over the Wanganella Bridge.   We are lucky to have their semen in storage.
