September 2014

Newbold enjoyed a successful showing at the 2014 Royal Adelaide Show bringing home a dozen ribbons including:

  • Reserve Champion Ewe  - Newbold 685/13, sired by Newbold 255/10, a national top sire for eating quality.
  • 3 firsts including Poll Dorset Lambplan Ewe and Texel Lambplan Production Pair
  • 2 seconds including Poll Dorset Lambplan Ram (Newbold 94/13 - SOLD to Melton Vale, TAS) and Poll Dorset Lambplan Production Pair - Trade.
  • 3 thirds including Interbreed Terminal Lamb Production Class
  • 5 fourths

It was wonderful to celebrate 60 years since the formation of the Australian Poll Dorset Association with Poll Dorset being the feature breed at this year's Adelaide Show. We are sure that W.J. Dawkins would be very proud of the progress that has been made since over the last 60 years.

Newbold wins Champion Lambplan Pair, Adelaide Show

September 2012

A pair of Newbold Poll Dorset rams won the prestigious Champion Interbreed Lamb Production - Terminal award at the Royal Adelaide Show. Lambplan figures are combined with visual assessments (including structure & soundness, skin value and carcase attributes) to determine the overall market suitability of the rams entered.

One of the rams in this pair was purchased by Lucindale’s Morton stud while the remaining ram - Hector 100/11 - was retained by Newbold and has gone on to produce impressive progeny. He has remakable high balanced ASBVs and would be great addition to any studs AI sire team. More about "Hector".
