PERENDALES
Supreme: Mount Monmot, Skipton.
Champion ram: Mount Monmot
Champion ewe: Mount Monmot.
Skipton stud Mount Monmot has again flown the flag for Perendales, taking out all the sections at this year's Royal Melbourne Show.
The stud's ram, over 1 1/2 years old, was sashed supreme exhibit.
The 123 kilogram ram had a fat depth of 12 millimetres, muscle depth of 44mm, muscle width of 90mm, muscle area of 30.5 square centimetres.
Judge Nick Cole praised the ram.
"It's just a very complete sheep, with a nice even fleece on it and good carcase," Mr Cole said.
Mr Cole said Mount Monmot brought a good, even group of sheep to the show.
"The lambs they brought out were well grown and will do well," Mr Cole said.
"They will grow out into good sheep.
"I just look at every breed, each has its characteristics that are unique, but you have to have sheep that will stand out, be commercially viable and pass those characteristics on to their progeny."
