It was most gratifying to receive the faxes and letters of congratulations. I greatly appreciate your support. The leather fashions in the fashion parade went off extremely well and all the guest speakers were most interesting and informative.
Markets are very encouraging here in Western Australia.
Five exporters are chasing Damaras for varying markets. The problem being that when you start an industry you go through these adjustments phases. There has not been enough numbers to be able to start to establish markets for ewes because most of the people have been keeping them for the breeding up phase, but no doubt down the track there are markets both domestic and live and chilled because it is a very lean and tasty sheep meat. There are a lot of features in favour of the Damara once we gear up production of these animals. Quite a number of pastoral stations destocked but now see the advantage of the Damara sheep.
