Valma & Rannoch Poll Dorsets - Success at Adelaide Royal in 2011
Valma 346-10: Reserve Junior Champion.
At last week’s Adelaide Royal Show, the McLauchlan family, with their Valma & Rannoch Poll Dorset Studs, maintained their ranking as a leader in the breed. Their team was successful against exhibitors from four States in taking out the Reserve Junior Champion Ram and first, second and fourth prizewinners in the Lambplan Performance Class, as well as Most Successful Exhibitor in the junior ram classes.
“All animals exhibited at Adelaide Royal are required to be scanned for growth, eye muscle and fat depth, with the aim of providing important commercial information, so we were particularly pleased with these results” said Andrew McLauchlan.
