Several Otago people appeared on the winners' lists including the Paterson family, of the Armidale Merino Stud in Gimmerburn, which won the Supreme Champion Fleece title for their halfbred fleece. This is the third year in a row the stud has won the supreme fleece title at the show, with merino fleeces winning in 2016 and 2017.
Mr Paterson was delighted when the family's halfbred fleece was named Supreme Champion Fleece at the show last Wednesday.
