Meeniyan stud excels at show
The Ivydown Southdown Stud at Meeniyan, operated by the Reynolds family,
exhibited at the recent Royal Melbourne Show with pleasing results.
He topped the scales at 118 kilograms, and had eye muscle measurements of eye
muscle area of 39.99 centimetres square, eye muscles depth of 49 millimetres,
eye muscle width 106 millimetres and only eight millimetres of fat measurement.
The scanning depicts the best cuts of meat available from the animal, and
therefore has brilliant breeding potential.
Out of a possible 16 classes, the stud's Southdowns won 10 classes outright.
Including the Lyngrove trophy, M.C. Herd trophy, the Peter Gorser trophy, the
Southdown Australia trophy, the best group of Southdowns under 18 months, the
best group of Southdowns any age, objective measurement class, ram under 18
months closely and evenly shorn, reserve champion ram.
During the course of the show, Ivydown also sold stud rams to NSW, Tasmania and
Victorian studs and sold the selling Southdown ram of the show.
