Australian Sheep and Wool Show 2024

 

• Supreme Exhibit

• 22 Broad Ribbons

• Most Successful Exhibitor Sheep and Wool

 

Macquarie continued it’s exemplary success at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show (ASWS) in Bendigo, where the Dohne was feature breed.
Of the 29 broad ribbons on offer in the sheep and fleece showing, Macquarie won 22 of them including the Supreme Exhibit with a 5 year old Wardry family special stud donor ewe. This is on par with last years record ASWS success (24 broad ribbons). Macquarie has now won all 3 Supreme Exhibits at the ASWS; 2016, 2023 & 2024.

In the fleece section Macquarie won the best 3 fleeces and best single fleece in both the 9-12 months and 6-8 months growth, the latter for a record sixth time in succession.

This success is a team effort of James Koster, Greg McCann, Tanya Barton and I must acknowledge James and Peter Nadin who were instrumental in selecting the hogget show team for the last two years along with input into the final overall team selection. Their input was invaluable.

Consistency is the key. Not only are Macquarie Dohnes performing subjectively in the show ring but objectively in sire evaluations, trait leading at Jigsaw, Austral Park (Western Districts of Victoria) and currently the leading index sire in the Coonong Sire Evaluation.

We look forward to catching up with clients throughout the ram selling season.
