Australian Fleece Competition

The Australian Fleece Competition is the world's largest fully measured fleece competition, drawing over 400 entries from 145 exhibitors

The competition is a collaborative effort between Nutrien Ag Solutions, the Australian Sheep Breeders Association, and the Australian Wool Testing Authority, and is held alongside the annual Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo, Victoria.

Thanks to the generosity of exhibitors, more than $220,000 has been raised for national charities over the past 22 years of the competition. In 2024, we will celebrate the 23rd year of the Australian Fleece Competition.

Strength to Give will be the chosen charity for the 2024 competition. This year's charity holds special significance for many members of the Nutrien Wool team. Learn more about this important cause here.

All competition fleeces were weighed and sampled for objective measurement (including length and strength), under standard procedures of the Australian Wool Testing Authority.
