In September 2025, Bendigo will come alive with prominent stud breeders in the Australian sheep industry at the Elite Show & Sale.
This year, we welcome the Southdown breed to the event - with four sheep breeds represented in our event, alongside the Poll Dorset breed at the Australasian Dorset Championships. The shed will be full, and you will have access to promote your business to a wide range of sheep breeders from most Australian states.

We appreciate and look forward to partnering with businesses in support of our event.
