Gold and Silver in Pretoria

Pretoria Show (August 2011)

Denvor Stud took the spoils at this year's Pretoria Show, as rams DTC 9122 and DTC 7002 became Grand and Reserve Grand Champions respectively.

Once again Ram DTC 6017 did very well with his progeny.

A fine turnover in Vryburg

DTC 9385 - R27 000

Denvor stud - does it again!

National IDF Show – Pietermaritzburg (May 2011)

It was a very successful day out of the office for Denvor Stud – DTC - where we once again achieved the most points at the national show.

This included awards for Grand Champion ram [DTC 9122] as well as Reserve Grand Champion ram [DTC 9311]:

Grand Champ - DTC 9122

Reserve Grand Champ - DTC 9311

DTC 9122 later became the Supreme Champion Sheep on show.

DTC 5084 - who was the Grand Champion in 2009 and is now owned by Henk Moller – also became Grand Champion Ewe as well as the Supreme Champion Ewe at the show:

Supreme Champ - DTC 5084

In the class of Rams (24-36 months), DTC stood 1st to 4th:
DTC 9122 – 1st
DTC 9323 – 2nd
DTC 9385 – 3rd
DTC 9320 - 4th

It is also noteworthy that the Grand Champion ewe – DTC 5084 – did well with her
progeny:
- her sons were DTC 9323 and DTC 9320
- her ewe lamb came 2nd in the 9 – 12 month class
- and in the 15-18 age group came 4th
- 4th was also earned in the 18-24 age group - in big classes.

The Junior Champion ram was also the progeny of a Denvor ram - DTC 6017

More importantly, these lambs all originated from embryo transplanting!
