Clientele
Over the years
At Shalimar Park, the stud has a long-standing clientele. Our two longest standing ram buyers both bought the equal top price rams at the 2015 Annual On-property Ram Sale.
The late Frank Presnell, of "Frama" Guyra, continuously bought rams from Shalimar for more than 50 years. In memory of Frank, in 2019 we offered the successful bidder of the top priced ram, the Frank Presnell Memorial Prize.
Shalimar Park has also sold a number of rams to leading merino studs in every state of Australia.
