A team from Cal Poly Pomona took home top honors from the California State Fair last week for breeding Dorset sheep.
The Cal Poly Pomona team was named the Premier Dorset Breeder from California. It was the first time a university flock ever won the award. The perpetual plaque for the award will remain at Cal Poly Pomona until next year’s show.
Cal Poly Pomona sheep that were exhibited at the fair garnered four first-place and four second-place finishes in their classes. They included the stud ram “Emmett” that was purchased last year and won the Reserve Grand Champion Dorset Ram title and “Mr. Cruise,” which was born on campus in January, raised by students, and took home the Junior Grand Champion Dorset Ram award.
