What an INCREDIBLE day! 2017 was our first year at the Korumburra Show, and we were blown away with how professionally it was conducted, and the great atmosphere that it had! Even up against four other amazing Corriedale Studs, we had such a successful day and we still can't quite believe it!
We are so thrilled with these results, and all the amazing comments we got for our sheep. We had a great afternoon chatting with our friends and fellow breeders, and we can't wait for the next 3 day shows; Berwick, Red Hill and Pakenham. Congratulations to all the other breeders who exhibited at the show, we saw so many incredible sheep!
Thank you to Steph and Ryan for organising such a great show, and also to everyone who helped us before, during and after the show, it is always much appreciated. :) Here are some more great photos from our day:

A massive THANK YOU is extended to everyone who helped us before, during and after the show this year! Overnight shows are a massive feat, and this years RMS was INCREDIBLE because of all the support we received.
THANK EWE! <3 Finally, a Bendigo update! The Moralla team had such a great time at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo last week! We made new friends, caught up with old ones, showed off our awesome sheep, got some great comments, and a bunch of ribbons too! Most importantly, we learnt lots and had loads of fun!
A big thank you is extended to everyone who donated their time and effort before, during and after the show. Especially to Ash, Caley, Ella, Kaya and Charlotte for showing our sheep wonderfully, and to Heather, Alan, Sheryl, Sallie and Matt for all your efforts with transporting us, housing us and organising food!
All your help is thoroughly appreciated! Our next show isn't until September, but in the meantime we'll post plenty of updates on all our sheep on our social media sites, so keep checking back to see what they're up to! We got lots of great photos at Bendigo, so here are some more below, and check out our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/morallacorriedales/) to see even more! An incredible experience!Moralla's Manager; Tess went to the National Merino Challenge on the 14th and 15th of May 2016, along with 3 gorgeous girls who go to the same high school as Tess, and are also in the sheep team there. Tess, Ella, Ash and Kaya had an awesome time at the NMC, learning loads, meeting lots and lots of new, interesting and knowledgeable people as well as having a heap of fun over the 2 days!
There has already been a number of articles posted about the 2016 NMC, a couple are listed below. :)

Moralla's Show Results:Our very early wake up (4am!) was absolutely worth it after a highly successful Pakenham Show yesterday! Here are Moralla's Show results:
We also entered 3 fleeces, with the following results:
Not only did the Moralla sheep have a great day, but so did I, as I had the privilege of running the sheep section this year, alongside a wonderful friend of mine. We were super lucky that the rain pretty much held out all day, and allowed us to continue the wonderful day of classes without too much interruption! Thank you again to all who came and supported the show! All in all, it really was a fabulous day! Moralla's Show Results:
