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.

Avenpart Dom’s Genetics to Canada
Semen from Avenpart Dom was exported to a breeder in Canada in 2022 and joined to Nomak Sophie (Bidgee Comb x Avenpart Stormy)

One of Colins employees breeds and trains Clydesdale horses and he brought them out to Avenel to camp on the creek for Easter. The weather is magnificent so we were all treated for a ride around the village this morning.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Very Happy Easter for 2022.
