Omad stud principal Damien Hawker won the exhibit with a June 2016-drop ram.
Despite weighing 137.5 kilograms, the ram was of a moderate type, and thickly set. “He’s got a lovely head, nice, thick ears and a beautiful cut off line,” Mr Hawker said.
“He stands really well on his feet and parades well.”
Spurred on by the supreme title, Mr Hawker decided to offer the ram for sale as a wildcard entry. It was sold for $9500 to Doug Comb from Manfred stud, NSW.
The ram had been in the top couple of animals in classes at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show at Bendigo, Sheepvention at Hamilton and the Royal Adelaide Show.
