« 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!
