RED Rock White Dorpers, Keith, achieved back-to-back champion White Dorper ram wins on their way to securing a clean sweep of the champion ribbons.
The ram, Red Rock 130395, at 97 kilograms had measurements of 6 millimetres fat and 43mm eye muscle depth.
Judge Scott Mitchell, Rene stud, Culcairn, NSW, said the champion, and the reserve from Keach White Dorpers, Middleton, were very impressive rams, but the Red Rock sire was the "complete package''.
"He was at his prime today, showing plenty of meat and good length," Mr Mitchell said. "He's the complete package with his balance, and his front end just got him over the line."
Stud principal Tanya Edson said the June 2013-drop ram - shown for the first time - had the potential to be a quality sire.
"He's just cutting his teeth now," Mrs Edson said. "He's really stylish, early-maturing and well-grown for his age.
"He's 97kg at this age and still has growing to do, so he's got great potential."
Red Rock 130395 will be kept by the stud, with Mrs Edson hoping his progeny will display the same fast growth.
