Melbourne Royal & Royal Geelong Show 2022:
In the past month, Flinders exhibited at both Melbourne Royal & Royal Geelong shows.

This year was our first time exhibiting at Melbourne Royal, and we were pleased with our results amongst some tough competition. Our 'Tirian', 'Ahsoka', 'Callisto' and 'Anzac' placed second in their respective classes. Oberon & Callisto won Best Ewe & Ram under 1 1/2 years of age, and also won the Schools Weaner Challenge. The Corriedale judge, James Hoban from Glenafric Corriedale Stud in New Zealand, also presented our ewe 'Ahsoka' with the coveted New Zealand ribbon.

Royal Geelong Show was also a success, with the stud being awarded with 'Most Successful Exhibitor in the Feature Breed'. Champion Ram was awarded to 'Tirian' and Champion Ewe to 'Remi', with the Supreme Champion Corriedale exhibit given to the ewe. 'Atlas' won Reserve Champion Ram and 'Callisto' won Reserve Champion Ewe. Our April 2022 drop ewe lamb, 'Anzac' won Champion Corriedale Lamb. The students also enjoyed helping other studs show their sheep and participating in the Junior Judging Competition, judging Border Leicester ewes and Hampshire Down rams. Big thanks to all those who helped out with the junior judging competition to make it happen.

Recently we exhibited at our first two shows of the year, Lang Lang & Berwick.

Both shows provided an opportunity for our dedicated and passionate new team members to build upon their skills, meet new people and reap the rewards of their hard work over the last few months. Some highlights are shown below:

Lang Lang:
At Lang Lang Show, our 2020 drop ram ‘Tirian’ won Champion Corriedale Ram, later going on to win Ram of Show and overall Supreme Stud Sheep Exhibit.

Berwick:
At Berwick Show, ‘Tirian’ also won Champion Corriedale Ram and Ram of Show.

Up against some tough competition, our 2021 drop ram lamb ‘Oberon’ won his class, and later won Reserve Champion Corriedale Ram. Born and raised a triplet, Oberon was commended for his soft-handling fleece, structure & sire’s outlook. We’re very excited to see how he develops & matures this year.

Our 2021 drop ewe lamb and Oberon’s full sister, ‘Callisto’, came home with Champion Corriedale Ewe and Reserve Champion Ewe Lamb of Show. Callisto was commended for her soft handling and consistent fleece with excellent character. We have very high hopes for this young ewe and her future impact on our stud.

Together, Oberon & Callisto also won Champion Interbreed pair.

In the fleece section, we entered Callisto’s lamb fleece and a ewe fleece, which won 1st and 2nd in their respective classes.

We look forward to exhibiting at the Red Hill Show this weekend!

We haven’t yet welcomed our newest arrivals here at Flinders!
Our 2021 lambing season is now complete, with twin ewe lambs born to ‘Sapphire’ one week ago. Sired by our champion ram, ‘Tirian’, we’re excited to see how they grow out and mature.

12/07/2021

Just over a week ago Flinders attended our first ever Ballarat Show! We are thrilled that our sheep achieved some amazing results.

Our yearling ram ‘Tirian’ achieved Champion Corriedale Ram, Supreme Champion Corriedale Exhibit and Interbreed Longwool Ram. He was also paired with two ewes to form our Interbreed Longwool Group. This promising young sire has been used within our stud, and we are excited to see his progeny in August.

Our ewe ‘Nala’ placed second in a large lineup of yearling ewes, and continued on to win Reserve Champion Corriedale ewe. We also had success with our 2019 drop ewe 'Chevrolet', who placed first in her class.

We're looking forward to exhibiting at the Australian Sheep and Wool Show this weekend!

Early this morning our ewe ‘Clover’ surprised us with triplets! This trio of two rams and a ewe are sired by Liberton 8K-136-2018.

We are on our way home from picking up our very special ewes, who were in with some Liberton rams for the summer joining period.

Fingers crossed for some buns in the ovens 🤞

During the school week our wonderful team members feed, check and manage our stud flock during their recess and lunch times, free periods and after school- but the work doesn’t stop on Friday’s. Our passionate team and their parents volunteer hours of their weekends, school holidays, public holidays and pupil free days to tend to our livestock multiple times a day- regardless of the weather.

The progress and success of our stud would not be possible without the dedication shown from our passionate team members and their families, and we are thankful for the love and support from all 💕

One of our year 7 parents captured these photos of our youngest students helping out around the farm during these school holidays 🌟

And with twin ewe lambs to our ‘Sapphire’, our 2020 lambing season is over. At only a week old, these twins show great potential with their dark points and robust structures.
All of this year’s lambs are growing well, and love the daily attention from our students- they will fit into the show team perfectly ✨🐑

27/06/2020

Last weekend our ewes ‘Remi’ and ‘Marie’ gave birth to a ewe and ram lamb, respectively. Both are growing well and we can’t wait to welcome them into the show team 🎉
We hope our friends are safe and well, and enjoy the holidays 😊

18/05/2020

We haven’t yet welcomed our second set of twins for this season, born just two weeks ago 😍

Also sired by Sweetfield ‘Aslan’ 18-53, they amounted to 15kg birth weight between them! We are excited to watch them fill out, and thank our school and stud communities for their ongoing support 💛🌻🐑

09/04/2020

Yesterday marked the beginning of our 2020 lambing season 🎉
Our Champion 2015 drop ewe ‘Charlotte’ gave us two happy ewe lambs.
Sired by the gorgeous Sweetfield Corriedale Stud 18-53 ‘Aslan’, we look forward to watching them grow to reach their full potential 😊

We hope our friends in both the school and Agricultural communities are safe and well during these times 🌟

Last weekend our hard working students exhibited our stud at the annual Red Hill show. Both our sheep and students were very successful, coming home with:

Champion and Reserve Champion Corriedale Lamb
Reserve Champion Corriedale Ram
Reserve Champion Corriedale Ewe
Reserve Champion Interbreed Ram of Show
Reserve Champion Interbreed Lamb of Show

Our students then competed in the Junior and Senior handling competitions where Flinders students won all placings in both categories. Our team had smiles on their faces all day 😊 A special congratulations to all our year 7s who have refined their skills by just their second show, and to all other exhibitors.
We look forward to next year’s Red Hill Show! 🐑🐑🐑

Remembering 2019. Some of my favourite photos at the school stud and shows. Mrs Goldberg

Great team work before and during the Berwick show. The dedication of our team is reflected in the results they achieved on the weekend. Our captains, Alanah and Nerissa, and Vice Captains, Ben, Riley U and Riley W, and Heath, along with all team members spent many lunchtimes and afterschool preparing our sheep and teaching our new members of the team. Our leadership team were inspirational. Erin has been a wonderful mentor and has help prepare our new members each Friday after school.Lots of lovely pictures. My favourites are attached. Thx to Suzette and Josh.
