It's not often that a sheep breeder wants to be beaten in the showring.
But as one of only a handful of registered Dorset Downs breeders in the country, Woodhall stud principal Margaret Chapman says it would be lovely to compete against, and be beaten by, someone else.
Along with her husband Colin, Mrs Chapman runs about 90 breeding ewes at their Weddernburn stud.
In 1945, her grandfather brought Dorset Downs over from England to run alongside the farm's Corriedales.
Mrs Chapman estimated there were only four or five other registered breeders left.
"When I first got them from my father there were only two, and we got them up to a magical number of about 10 at one stage," she said.
"I think we probably have got the lowest number of ewes of any breed.
"There are quite a lot in the community which are not registered, which is a bit disappointing because we can't keep track of them."
Mrs Chapman said the Dorset Down ewes made very good mothers and the breed was known for its good meat.
She said they were also easy to care for with a good temperament, which was helpful when handling lambs.
"They've got very strong constitution," she said.
"They're amazing really, that they came out from Dorset where it's green, lots and lots of beautiful grass and they came out to Wedderburn.
"Wedderburn is lovely in the spring but it's pretty dry in the summer, and somehow they do well."
The breed had stayed very true to type over the years, she said, with a visiting British judge even commenting how similar the sheep were to those in the United Kingdom.
"They're amazing - we've been over to England and seen them over there and they were very similar," she said.
"We've never put anything else into them, they're totally pure.
"We don't particularly want them any bigger - we're happy with the size - we just want to keep the quality in them and the conformation right."
The stud uses artificial insemination from New Zealand bloodlines to introduce new lines.
"Every five to 10 years we bring out a new lot of semen from NZ and we keep them looking pretty good," she said.
"We obviously have to be competitive and look good, and we don't want to get any inbreeding traits or anything like that."
The stud has been competing in the Australian Sheep & Wool Show for about 25 years and the Melbourne Royal Show for over 50.
Mrs Chapman said showing helped to give breed the exposure, even if the stud was often competing against itself.
"I really take them out so that people know they exist," she said.
"It's also nice to see how your sheep are going against other sheep - not that we really often show against our own breed.
"But then we get into the interbreed competitions and you think, how are we stacking up?
"I think it's important so that you know how your sheep are faring in regards to other sheep."
She said there was also very good camaraderie with other breeders.
This year the stud plans to show one-year-olds at the ASWS.
Mrs Chapman hoped the breed would grow in popularity.
"We certainly would love to be able to go to a show and have someone else beat us," she said.
"That wouldn't worry us at all, just that other people are enjoying having them."
