Most successful Southdown exhibitor Graeme Dehnert, Fernhill, Ballan, with his supreme exhibit - the grand champion ewe from the under 1.5-year-old class.
Mr Dehnert said she was a July-drop straight out the paddock and was her first showing. Judge Laurie Fairclough, York, WA, said the ewe had all the attributes of a top ewe of the breed, with great muscling, good shoulders and top line, and stood well.
"A very correct ewe for that breed type," he said.
