TJAART Steenekamp,
from Barkly East in the
Eastern Cape, took
top honours in the fat
lamb competition at this
year’s Royal Agricultural Show at
the Royal Showgrounds in Pietermaritzburg.
His Suffolk Dormer cross was

Association’s champion commercial
animal on the hoof, having
earlier won the lambs 40 kg to
49 kg individual category.
For his efforts, he was presented
with the RPO cash prize, the Royal
Show medallion, rosette and sash
and the BKB Floating Trophy.
The reserve champion was a
White Dorper, bred by Coetzee
Reitz, of Williston in the Northern
Cape.
Reitz also bred the champion
group of White Dorpers.
