"It gives him some encouragement to continue the work."
The reserve ram was shown by Jamie Buerckner, Bauer stud, Ariah Park, NSW.
Mrs Jackson said the champion ram was a 2018 drop ram sired by Two Dot Hurricane. The winning ram weighed in at 100 kilograms, had a fat measurement of 10mm and eye muscle depth of 43mm.
