Success for the Young Farmers at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show
Congratulations to our Young Farmers team who achieved great success at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo over the weekend. The team comprising of 37 Year 7 to 12 students ably showed our Romney sheep and also assisted other breeders.
A Romney ewe placed third in the schools interbreed competition, and Ernie’s excellent fleece also won first place in both the schools competition and the British Longwool category against commercial breeders! A fantastic effort by all involved!
Students also had the opportunity to try their hand at judging sheep themselves and impressively Hannah Taylor in Year 10 and Amira Ferrier in Year 7 both placed third in their respective age categories – an amazing effort given the number of participants!
Congratulations to everyone involved! Good luck for your next big event at the Royal Melbourne Show!
