The first Show held by the Agricultural Society, back in 1824, had 42 pens of sheep and a prize of forty Spanish dollars to go to the best group of Australian Merino Rams and to the best group of Australian Merino Ewes. William Howe Esq of Glenlee won for his rams, and Rev Samuel Marsden of Parramatta for his ewes.
Today the Sydney Royal Sheep & Fleece Show awards prizes, including cash, medals and perpetual trophies in more than 400 classes and continues to support the pursuit of excellence of Australian-bred sheep in fleece, meat and dual-purpose classes.
