It was pleasing to receive 27 fleeces in the Wool Section this year.  The wool was of a very high standard, congratulations to all of the exhibitors.  We thank Mr Maurice McNeill, who travelled from Brisbane, to judge the fleeces.

CHAMPION OPEN CLASS FLEECE was won by AC Smith & Co, who also won the BARRABA & DISTRICT CHAMPION FLEECE and HIGHEST POINT SCORE awards.

HIGHEST COMMERCIAL VALUE FLEECE went to Gemma White with a value of $91.75.
