January - July 2004

• Bendigo Sheep & Wool Show - July 2004
  At the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo from 16-18 of July, Wonder Boy made his show debut and truly lived up to his name.
  Initially, winning Champion Fine Wool Poll and then Grand Champion Fine Wool Ram he began to attract a lot of interest. But in late afternoon judging on Sunday he won overall Grand Champion Poll Ram. A brilliant result considering there were 800 entries in the Merino section of the show.
  And Wonder Boy wasn’t just a one hit “wonder” for Southrose. Collecting a total of ten Champion broad ribbons, two Grand Champion broad ribbons and Most Valuable SA Commercial Fleece in the Fleece Competition with a value of $72.12, it was one of Southrose most successful shows to date.
