Bill Walker, Sheep Classer and Advisory S.A. commented in Classings Classic 2018

"The $11,000 Coddington Uardry Poll that sold at Classic ’16 to Calcookara has left progeny that are hard to find in this state-true New England-like white wools with aligned crimp and lustre yet on high trait, meaty carcasses. Keep an eye on these stud people!” end of quote."

"Since changing to Coddington Uardry they have ceased mulesing and the progeny up to 2.5 years of age have not had one with flystrike, where there older mulesed sheep have had some flystrike. The wool is longer stapled, finer and sheep are a lot better in constitution and mature faster to market."

Michael Millner, President Royal Agricultural Society of NSW

Dear Susan,

As President of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of the Sydney Royal Easter Show this year, in particular for helping us celebrate the bicentenary of the RAS.

Your attendance at the Show enables the RAS to carry out its mission to promote sustainable agriculture and therefore forge the future of the agricultural industry and its communities in Australia. As you may have seen with memorabilia and photographs around the grounds at the Show, we have proudly carried out this mission since 1822.

This year was made even more noteworthy for many at the Show with the visit by Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne, the Princess Royal. At the opening ceremony, the Princess Royal said, “The Show draws whole communities together and serves as a forum for the agricultural industry to share stories with the wider community,” and we take considerable pride in the role we play in this each year as we bring country and city together and celebrate the Australian way of life.

Planning is well under way for the 2023 Show to ensure we continue to bring you the finest agricultural experiences and entertainment whilst continuing to support our rural communities.

Next year's Show will run from 6-17 April, and our hopes are high for another sensational Show and worthy celebration.

on behalf of the RAS and the Sydney Royal Easter Show team, thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you back again next year.

Regards

Peter Safstrom, Heathcote Vic

'Thank a Farmer Day' at the Royal Easter Show

NSW - and in my opinion, the Dubbo electorate 😉 - is home to the best farmers in the world and the Royal Easter Show is a great celebration of that!

Farmers are not only the backbone of our bush communities - they're also the backbone of the NSW economy.

NSW is home to a diverse range of primary industries, from beef, dairy and poultry to world-class wool, and despite a lot of recent challenges, the sector is stronger than ever before - its a record $20.9 BILLION industry!

I'm really proud to represent this industry, the farmers who are the heart and soul of all of our country communities, as well as the Dubbo electorate 🤩

For me, the highlight of the show has been running into so many fantastic primary producers and students from the Dubbo electorate!
