The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Sheep Show got underway with the annual Fleece Competition with entries
from Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. The competition’s judge, Master Spinner, Harriet Boon commented
that “all the fleece were well presented and in good condition and certainly appealing to the handspinners. The
coloured fleeces were of particular visual appeal in excellent crimp and staple length.” The Fleece Auction to
be held on Sunday, November 14th will definitely be the place to be to buy some of Canada’s most excellent
fleece.
The Royal Agriculture Winter Fair and sponsor, the Canadian Co-Operative Wool Growers Ltd and our Judge
congratulate the 2010 Grand Champion, Gillian Mullins of Sterling, Ontario whose Coloured Lamb Fleece
shorn by Rod Short from a Blue Faced Leicester x Corrriedale x Romney Lamb took top prize. The
competition was close as last year’s Grand Champion, Wind Dancer Farm of Holland Centre, ON presented a
Fine White Fleece whose brightness earned top marks but this year only enough for Reserve Grand Champion.
Honours also went to Anne Bishop and Jan Morrell of Falmouth, Nova Scotia for a first place in the Specialty
class for their entry of an Icelandic Yearling Ram Fleece, shorn by Lucas Lange, New Germany, NS. Our
Champion, Gillian Mullins also earned red ribbons in several other categories proving that she is indeed a most
Fleece
worthy “Royal Competitor.”
The coloured fleeces, so cherished by spinners and knitters everywhere, took most of this year’s honours
amongst them was a Youth Entry competing in the open show. The Royal Agriculture Winter Fair is delighted
to present Victoria Clare of Campbellford, Ontario with a red ribbon and a score of 89% on a Bluefaced
Leicester cross lamb in the coloured wool. In the Strong Longwool sections, Ann Moffat, a long time Lincoln
breeder and exhibitor in both wool and sheep, from Schomberg Ontario, had several entries and claimed the top
two placings as has come to be expected of her fleece.

2009 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair
Fleece Competition
A special thanks sto Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Ltd. For their
contribution to the prize money.
Judge: Carol Coleman Trotter
Judge's Comment: It was my honour and pleasure to judge the Fleece Competition at the 2009 RAWF.
All of the entries were all carefully presented and worthy of merit. Some placements were difficult to make and may
have been decided on only minor variations such as fleece weight or staple length.
Congratulations to the owners of the Grand and Reserve Champion fleeces - these entries stood out as exceptional
fibre, uniform in character from shoulder to britch, promising high yield and full value to any handspinner or
processor.
C. Coleman Trotter.
