Picture gallery: All the action from the Casteron kelpie muster

Casterton welcomed visitors from all over Australia to its annual kelpie muster and working dog auction at the weekend. See our picture gallery.

Casterton welcomed not only visitors from all over Australia to its annual kelpie muster and working dog auction at the weekend, but also 54mm of drought-breaking rain.

The rain didn’t dampen the heat of the bidding on auction dogs however, with the equal top honours going to two local men selling dogs at $17,500.

Jack Leonard, Casterton, took out the honour for the third time, with his two-year old black and tan kelpie Billy, matched by Beloka Skye, sold by Ash Caruana from Penshurst.
