This prestigious trophy, which has been awarded since 1946, goes to the Most Successful Exhibitor from one of the breeds exhibited. This year the Border Leicester breed was selected to contest the Cup, and Retallack principals, Graham and Isabella Grinter, were proud to accept the award.
2009 Australian Sheep & Wool Show Bendigo (July 17 - 20 Jul 2009)
Retallack stud attended the 2009 Australian Sheep and Wool Show, a major event attended by the stud for over 30 years. The ASBA show, which was moved from the Melbourne Show-grounds some 10 years ago, had one of its highest crowds ever this year when 20,000 people passing through the gates.
The show ring continues to be our shop front window and we were pleased with the interest shown in our sheep over the three days, from Border Leicester breeder's, managers of other meat and wool breeds, commercial producers and the general public.
