Sheep breeders as well as over 100 students from Lithgow, Bathurst, and Campbelltown attended.
Ms Brooke Baker from Camden judged the students and their sheep, ably assisted by Kate Williamson from Blayney who was the associate judge.
A spokesman for the organisers said the idea of the show was twofold. To give young and upcoming judges a chance to hone their skills before judging at bigger shows and to give students a chance to learn the finer skills of showing stud sheep.
