To be held at "Parkley", Adelong, the sale will feature 110 polled and horned Merino rams, with inspections commencing at 11am.
Blyth Merinos principal Ron Blyth is rightly proud of this year's sale rams.
"It is over 30 years since I, along with John Pike, started this dream finally the effort and the belief has made it all come true," Ron said.
"Today Blyth's self-replacing merino enterprise on a dry sheep equivalent (DSE) basis is very competitive alongside our other farm enterprises."
All sale rams have been drenched for sale preparation and have always been well fed, including on grain supplement through winter.
"The easy care, easy shearing, highly fertile merino with superior processing wool is today's sheep," Ron said.
"These sheep raise the highest percentage of lambs to weaning. They are genetically changed to not need mulesing and have internal fat and muscle reserves."
