2010 - "we recently entered a pen of young ewes in the Landsborough Flock Ewe competition at Muttaburra north of Longreach. They were Aug/Sept 09 drop ewes unshorn. Nicely grown with some lovely wool.
There were 35 pens of sheep of all ages. Our ewes took out the Unshorn Lambs, Champion Pen bred North of the Tropic, Grand Champion pen of the day from all ages and the Northern Zone championship which is from all the Western Flock ewe competitions."
2009 - "we entered a team of 5 young wethers in the Longreach Show Wether trial at the Rosebank Research station outside Longreach.
They were all shorn and weighed recently and the 5 Colanya boys won the Highest Average carcase valuation out of the 19 teams."
