The competition is a joint effort by Nutrien Ag Solutions, the Australian Sheep Breeders Association and the Australian Wool Testing Authority which is run in conjunction with the annual Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo, Victoria.
The generosity of exhibitors has resulted in over $220,000 being raised for National charities over the 22 years of the competition. In 2024, we will celebrate the 23rd year of the Australian Fleece Competition.
Strength to Give will be the benefiting charity for the 2024 competition. This year's charity is close to home for many in the Nutrien Wool team. Learn more about the charity here.
All competition fleeces were weighed and sampled for objective measurement (including length and strength), under standard procedures of the Australian Wool Testing Authority.
