A TATTYKEEL half-sibling pair that impressed judge Geoff Gale, Galaxy Park, Monarto South, was crowned champion ewe and ram as well as breeders group in the Australian White competition.
The ram, entered in the under 1.5 years class, was previously the champion at the Sydney Royal Show in March.
Mr Gale described the ram as a “pretty good sheep”.
“He is a very good carcase ram and very correct on his legs,” he said.
The ewe, a half-sister to the ram, was also backing up a win as champion ewe at the Bendigo Sheep Show.
Mr Gale said the ewe had very similar characteristics to the ram.
“She had a good, meated body and a good head,” he said.
