FLEECE INSPECTION IN ACTION!
Melissa Hughes from Condobolin High School, Greg Hall from the Australian Dohne Breeders' Association (ADBA), Rachel Eagles from Forbes High School and Chelsea Reeve from Red Bend Catholic College inspect fleeces at the 2026 Community Bank Gilgandra & Central West Bendigo Bank NSW Dohne Prime Lamb Schools Competition
Fleece inspection is an important part of understanding wool quality, with key characteristics such as fibre diameter, staple length, strength, uniformity and overall fleece presentation considered during assessment.
It was wonderful to see teachers and industry representatives coming together, sharing knowledge and gaining valuable insights into the wool-producing qualities of the Dohne Merino breed.

AUSTRALIAN DOHNE MERINOS ON THE WORLD STAGE!
Great to see former Australian Dohne Breeders' Association President Greg Hall sharing an Australian perspective at the 2026 World Dohne Merino Conference in South Africa!
Greg caught up with Farmer's Weekly SA journalist Glenneis Kriel to discuss the conference, the future of wool production and the important role Dohne Merinos play in Australian sheep farming.
A fantastic opportunity to showcase the versatility, productivity and dual-purpose benefits of the Dohne Merino breed, while strengthening connections with our international Dohne community.
Well done, Greg, and thank you for continuing to promote Australian Dohne Merinos on the world stage!
