The nine studs who opened their gates as part of the Southern Victorian Merino Field Days reported a successful day with a "steady stream" of visitors.
Field day president Pat Millear, who welcome visitors to his property Stud Park South, at Willaura, said all studs had "solid inquiry" and good numbers of clients looking at their sheep.
