It's the second year since the sheep livestock judging has returned to the show and this year seven different breeders were trying their hands for the event's ultimate prize.

For the second year running Temora's Jeff Sutton from Wattle Farm won the Junee High School Supreme Border Leicester exhibit.

However, it wasn't an easy run for Mr Sutton with Junee's Sarah Heffernan putting up a tough fight.

After initial judging rounds, it came down to Mr Sutton's ram and Miss Heffernan's ewe.

It's the first time Miss Heffernan, who is starting her own stud, has exhibited at the Junee Show.

"I got the call yesterday (Friday) to bring them in and it's the first time some of these sheep have been shown," she said.

"They've come straight from the paddock."

Miss Heffernan claimed the interbreed reserve champion ewe, champion Border Leicester ewe and champion interbreed group plus five first place ribbons.

"I didn't think I'd win, I put them in for the experience," she said.

"It's great to have this opportunity (to compete) at the Junee Show thanks to the organisers and judges for all their hard work."

For competition steward Paul Anderson to have nearly double last year's exhibitors was a great result.

"It's great to see a young stud get into showing, supporting their local show and being rewarded with success," Mr Anderson said.

"The competition will improve the quality of the show."

Wagga's Kooringal High School made their debut in the livestock judging and were joined by Cootamundra High and Yanco Agricultural high schools.

"Their (Kooringal's) students performed really well on the day and it's great to see another Wagga school get into the showing game and teaching their students what to look for in stud sheep," Mr Anderson said.
