John took great joy from showing his sheep. It wasn’t just the competition, but the friendships made around the show ring and sharing his knowledge with newcomers. He judged at major sheep shows in Tasmania, New Zealand, Goulburn, Canberra and Western Australia and served as a Councillor on the NSW Stud Merino Breeders’ Association. John is greatly missed by Annette; Emily, Tim, Charlie, Jack and Tom; Matthew and Storm; Gina, Nathan, Blake and Evie.
