Picture gallery: All the action from the mountain calf sales

The famed mountain calf sales at Hinnomunjie, Omeo, Benambra, and Ensay have drawn in huge crowds. See the faces captured by our photographer.

The prices may have been subdued when compared to last year, but the atmosphere made up for it during the two days of mountain calf sales.

The Victorian towns of Hinnomunjie, Omeo, Benambra and Ensay showed hospitality and a lineup of some of the best genetics on offer. See the faces captured by our photographer, Zoe Phillips.
