EWE CHAMP: Lindsay and Kaye Knight, Meridian View Dorper Stud, Mildura, with their champion Dorper ewe. They also won the reserve champion ewe title.
RAMS and ewes had equal billing at the Dorper judging last Saturday.
Edson Livestock, Culburra, won champion and reserve ram titles, while Meridian View Dorper Stud, Mildura, secured wins for champion and reserve ewe.
Meridian's champion ewe in the under 1.5 years class weighed 79.5 kilograms and measured 6 millimetres fat and 43mm eye muscle depth.
Co-owner Kaye Knight said it was a "wonderful" win.
"It's a real bonus to win reserve as well," she said.
"We've come so far, with lots of late nights, and very early mornings, and we weren't expecting to win."
Edson's champion ram came from the over 1.5 years old class, weighed 97.5kg, and measured 10mm fat and 41mm eye muscle depth.
