ALTHOUGH entering for the first time, Steve Cresswell, Annalara White Dorpers, Dubbo took out the grand champion hoof and hook sash in the Dubbo Show’s Prime Lamb All Breeds Hoof and Hook competition.

The November 2013-drop lambs were straight out of the paddock, Mr. Cresswell (pictured with competition committee member Terry Mitchell) said.

“The reason for entering is to showcase what we produce and what our genetics can produce.”

Mr. Cresswell’s pen scored the most points in the hoof and hook categories, earning him the top honour.
