It was pleasing to receive 39 fleeces in the Wool Section this year.  The wool was of a very high standard, congratulations to all of the exhibitors.  We thank Mr Bruce Toms from Fox & Lillie Rural, who travelled from Stanthorpe, to judge the fleeces.

The GRAND CHAMPION Fleece of the show was won by Adette Grazing, who also won the CHAMPION OPEN CLASS FLEECE and HIGHEST POINT SCORE awards.

CHAMPION MERINO FLEECE, Barraba & District went to PARAWAY PASTORAL who also won the HIGHEST COMMERCIAL VALUE FLEECE.
