17.01.2022 While in Canberra, Gordon and Charlotte had the opportunity to co-judge the junior handler competitions. One thing we love as sheep producers is encouraging the youth within the sheep industry. It was great to see so many passionate young kids at the show and to be able to pass on our knowledge to them and encourage their continuous participation within the sheep industry.
