TATTYKEEL Poll Dorset stud has made it back-to-back wins of the Dubbo Show supreme inter-species competition.
In its second year, the competition showcases the supreme exhibit from each section and puts them side by side to evaluate who truly is the best of their respective species and what exhibit could offer the most to their industry.
This year it was judged by Richard Cole, Lachlandale Limousins and Riverglen Berkshires, Forbes.
Tattykeel 210113 was the supreme sheep of show which Mr Cole selected to receive the $1000 prize money sponsored by ARTC.
"It is a very correct sheep," Mr Cole said. "He carries his weight well, he carries his meat beautifully and he was the most faultless animal to me."
