The competition will see Victoria join South Australia and New South Wales in offering the state-based competition.
Marnoo Merino Stud Breeders’ Association has held its annual field day for more than 30 years – a close-knit group of 10 studs coming together and building a strong following across Victoria.
“Victoria hasn’t had a class for the Champion March-shorn Hogget ram so with Marnoo’s strong foundations, the association decided to broaden the scope to invite all Victoria-exclusive studs to join in the field day,” said association spokesman Trent Carter.
“We’ve already built a successful local event … this will make it even better.”

“Merino studs can compete at Hamilton and Bendigo sheep shows but there was nothing exclusive for Victorians.
“This will give anyone looking for proven local Victorian genetics the ability to find everything in the one spot.”
