TERRICK West Poll Merino Stud has taken out major awards at the Hay Merino Show.
The stud claimed both best pen of three rams and best pen of three ewes at the weekend.
Success in the rams section followed a similar accolade at the Loddon Valley Merino Field Day in February.
The ram lambs averaged 118kg at 13 months old, showing exceptional growth for their age.
The class was judged with a 50 per cent emphasis on both wool and carcass.
The McGauchies were also awarded the Victorian Champion Hogget and second in the National Champion Hogget at Hay with that ram being named reserve champion March-shorn ram of the show.
Terrick West and other Loddon studs are preparing for a string of major Victorian shows including the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo next month.
