2016 Dubbo Show
This year at the NSW Dubbo Sheep Show was the biggest showing of Corriedales ever at Dubbo with over 90 entries. Our judge this year was Daryl McDonald from Fairburn, Porcupine Ridge Victoria. Daryl was very impressed with the overall quality of the sheep. Ed Thomas from Cooma was asked to be associate judge.
The judging started at 8:30am on the Friday morning with the ram classes. Billigaboo was to come out on top with a 1-2 year old woolly ram, which also went on to win supreme Corriedale. The reserve champion woolly ram went to Badgally. The champion shorn ram and reserve champion shorn ram also went to Billigaboo. In the ewe class, Rose-Lea won the champion shorn ewe with an under 12 month lamb and Badgally won the reserve. Badgally won both the champion and reserve champion woolly ewe and grand champion Corriedale ewe. The group of 3 Corriedales went to Badgally as well as the best exhibitor. Judging finished about 1:00pm thanks to the efficient work of both the table and head stewards.
Daryl was also a guest at our annual dinner which was organised by Henry Thompson. It was a full house with all studs being represented. Daryl was asked to describe his time at Dubbo Show which went over well with crowd. Trophies where handed out and Tony Manchester had a few words about the day and Daryl for judging and the sponsors for their support. The evening finished a little later, with a few drinks and stories.
Dubbo is getting bigger each year and more new studs are getting involved. It will not be long till we could see 200 Corriedales at Dubbo. Hope to see a few more visitors next year from interstate as you will all be very surprised with Dubbo Show.
