Judges:
Wool – Phil Goddard – Goddard Wool Marketing

The competition consists of five sheep entered in two sections, with all sections being run in the
same paddock. The competition is over one year from the time of entry, but depending on age, sheep
may be left in for succeeding competitions.
SECTION 1: MILK TEETH
Pen of five wethers, showing not more than milk teeth at time of entry. (Entries remain in this section
for one year, and may remain for the succeeding two years in the open section).

Peter Sams Memorial Trophy – Overall Champion Wether Donated by Brunckhorst Family.
Boree Downs Trophy – Lifetime Value Team
Donated by Cindy Taylor
AIMS & OBJECTIVES:
The competition is to determine which entry of wethers gives the greatest gross return from wool and
meat after being run in the same paddock throughout the year as all other entries.
CONDITIONS OF ENTRY: Only milk teeth wethers will be accepted as new entries. (Two, four &
six teeth sheep will NOT be accepted as new entries).
The valuation of fleeces is on the basis of a mid-side sample taken to establish the micron and yield,
then at shearing the fleece is appraised by a valuer to determine the wool board type and clean price.
As the yield from the mid side sample is determined as a “washing yield” and is higher than the
Schlumberger dry yield used by the trade, the valuer may at his discretion reduce the indicated test
yields of ALL fleeces by a similar amount to arrive at a more realistic value.
The valuation of the sheep (live weight) will be based on a CALM assessment.
The Value is: Wool Board Clean Price x Yield x Total Weight + value of animal.
A minimum of three sheep must be presented for a team to be valid.
The highest average value of all fleeces & average value of sheep within a team will determine the
winner (i.e. five sheep presented- total value divided by five etc.).
Entry is free, but the wool remains the property of the Isisford Sheep & Wool Show Inc. to defray
the costs of tagging, dipping, drenching, shearing and the value of the trophies.
Sheep remain the property of the Isisford Sheep & Wool Show Inc.
A shearing day will be held at “Boree Downs” Longreach, on Saturday 23rd April 2016 at 8.00a.m,
where ALL NEW ENTRIES are to be delivered for shearing for the commencement of the 2016
competition. Sheep to be delivered before 10:00am on this day. All wethers in the trial will be shorn
& judged on this day.
We wish to acknowledge donations of sheep & wool in the 2015 Trials from:
Oma, Kaloola, Springleigh, Boree Downs, Gaza, Laidlaw, Notus Downs & Patrisha Downs.
Prizemoney can be adjusted by the committee depending on the number of entries in any section.
