The Balmoral Show enjoyed an increased number of Merino exhibits this year and with the jovial country show atmosphere, a good time was had by all.
Georgina Wallace, Campbell Town Tasmania and Graham Wels, Jerilderie, NSW were the Merino judges and had their work well and truly cut out for them with a fine line up of animals.
