People travelled from across Victoria and even South Australia for the unique competition held from Thursday to Saturday.

"It was a great weekend, we had a lot of spectators come across the few days of the trials," Moyston Sheepdog Club president Max McLean said.

"The trials are themselves are quite unique. For a little town like Moyston, it's an annual event that attracts a lot of visitors and is a real drawcard.

"We had a good crowd on Friday night for roast dinner which was good to see."

South Australia's Anthony Ireland made it back-to-back open final wins, taking home the main prize with his dog Oakdowns Byn.

"A couple of their trials have dropped off across the border so we get a few South Australian workers which is good to see," Mr McLean said.

Mr McLean said works are already underway for the 92^nd installment of the event in 2020.

"We have already got next year's judges lined up​," he said.

"Things are getting a bit harder with less people but we have our sights well set on 100 in a few years time.

"We only have a small committee but it is a good opportunity to bring the locals together to chip in to make it a success."
