Induro White Suffolk tasted success, with a double at the Elders Riverina Sheep Expo on Friday.
The Wakool-based stud claimed the Performance Ewe of the Year, and backed it up by also taking out the Performance Ram of the Year later in the day.
Judge Shane Baker said the Induro ewe had an impressive length of line and was very balanced through the back.
Induro beat out Wattle Park Stud, a tough competitor from Finley who frequents the show every year.
Induro principal Guy Treweek said Induro 210266 has done well this year, and placed second in her class at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo last month.
The 16-month old will head to the Adelaide Elite show, where Mr Treweek hopes she will continue outclassing the rest.
In the ram section, Induro 210265 was also judged by Mr Baker and was a head above when it came to balance, body confirmation, standing position and meat potential.
Mr Treweek said the ram also had success at Bendigo last month, and is an “A1 bred ram”.
He was senior champion at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show, and will also be showcased and sold at the Adelaide show.
