2016 Royal Canberra Show

I had the privilege to be asked to judge the Corriedales at the Royal Canberra Show. There was a really strong line up of sheep to be judged, the woolly ewe lamb class was the biggest and properly the hardest to place as all the ewes where a good quality. Roseville was the big winner on the day with Champion Ewe and Ram, both sheep had a great coverage of wool and plenty of carcass. The Reserve ram went to Tymec and the Reserve ewe Badgally. The Ram was unlucky not to win the interbreed Longwool as there was a tie with the Border Leicester. The group of 3 Corriedales I gave to a group of woolly lambs from Badgally, they were not the biggest group in the line-up but they were the most even.

Canberra has been a great start to the show season as we head to the Sydney Royal Easter Show as feature breed. Thank for the opportunity to judge at Canberra and I look forward to the opportunity in the Future.
