There was success a plenty for staff and students from Lincoln University’s Faculty of Agriculture and Life Science at the 150th Canterbury A&P show.

But one example of this involved a Merial Ancare Romney NZ saleable meat yield ram lamb winning the 2012 Mint Lamb Competition, where Lincoln University’s Associate Professor Jon Hickford and a number of the University’s students (Tom Broughton, Jin Han, Amy Horrell, Abi Pont and Anna Fisher (nee Smyth) have been involved with the progeny test trials since 2006.

The ram lamb was from Hugh and Diane Taylors’ property at Oxford and at just over eight weeks produced a remarkable 16.8kg carcass with a lean meat yield of 54.53%.

Further success for Lincoln University came via PhD student Anna Fisher (nee Smyth) winning at least 31 separate prizes across the Hereford, Charolais and All Breeds (beef) categories. Also, for the second time running, Anna (and husband Brent), won the Meat and Wool Cup, thanks to their three year old bull named Evolution reaching a top four overall placing at the Show.

Lincoln University third year Animal Science student Lucy Burrows also experienced multiple success at the show by winning 18 prizes, including being awarded second overall in the junior stock judging section.
