Hay reigns supreme at Melbourne Royal
By Tertia Butcher
Hay War Memorial High School's Aberline stud had a very successful finish to the Melbourne Royal Show when it took out the supreme Dorper exhibit with its grand champion ewe.
The Aberline stud also won the White Dorper supreme exhibit with its grand champion ewe.
In addition, the Hay team took out the Best Maintained Team and Champion School in the Sheep Schools’ and Youth Competition.
The judges particularly acknowledged the positive way the Hay students interacted with the public and assisted other studs and competition stewards.
Student handler Chrissy Murray placed second in the senior short wool meat sheep judging competition. Chrissy is pictured above handling the supreme exhibit with Molly Edmonds and Issy Murray holding her twin lambs.
