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.
