2023 was one of our best show years ever.
This year the Warwick Show was the biggest circuit show in Qld outside of Brisbane. Showing 10 month old stud lambs only, we picked up Supreme all breeds breeders group; Supreme all breeds ewe; and Reserve all breeds ram. The following week at Toowoomba Royal Show, Sovereign took top honours in six of the seven interbreed competitions including ram, ewe; ram and ewe pair; breeders group; interbreed pair of rams; and Performance ram. Later in the year we headed to the EKKA to see if we could defend our title for Qld champion of champions ram. This year we went a little better in the Champion & Champions judging and claimed both Champion and Reserve in the ram class, followed by the Champion of Champions breeders group which included our keeper ram and his twin sister. The annual Inglewood multi breed ram sale was held on the last Friday of February 2023.
Our Sovereign rams again this year were keenly sought after and topped at $2000 with an average of $1410 across the 20 rams offered. The young 9-10 month old ram lambs sold very strongly. We plan to again include some ram lambs in our 2024 sale offering. Following the Inglewood multi breed sale, more Sovereign rams were sold around the region and to repeat clients in central west Queensland. |
