Bush Sheepdog Competition
This year our inaugural Bush Sheepdog Competition was held. Pulling together a new competition of this magnitude required a special commitment by sponsors and volunteers. A special thank you goes out to Molly Shannon for running such a great event along with those that made the Bush Sheepdog Competition one that we would all be excited to see for many years to come. Thank you again to:
- Wally and Claire Martin for their wonderful sheep that made the trial most enjoyable for everyone involved
- Dan & Marina Lee-Warner at Weetah Screenprinting for the donation of all the ribbons
- Suttons Livestock Veterinary services for their donation of dog wormers and also vaccines for the winner
- Virbac for their lovely embroidered vest for the winner
