Producer of the Year

A Producer of the Year Award was introduced by WAMMCO from 2017 to replace the WAMMCO State Prime Lamb Carcase Competition which operated between 2002 and 2016.

The annual award has five separate categories (three for Crossbred and two for Merino lambs) based on total annual throughput, to ensure the competition is equitable for smaller and larger producers alike.

Key points of the new award:

  • There is no entry fee or entry forms to complete and it is open to both Crossbred and Merino lamb suppliers

  • Growers must supply a minimum of 250 crossbred or 250 Merino lambs to gain automatic entry

  • Winners will be determined by the highest percentage of carcases meeting WAMMCO’s carcase sweet spot (18.1-28kg, fat scores 2-3 and defect free carcases), compared with the consignment totals

The Producer of the Year category winners are determined by a score calculation which is based on the total lamb throughput for the financial year for each grower together with:

  • an 80% weighting on the number of carcases meeting WAMMCO’s carcase sweet spot (18.1-28kg, fat scores 2-3 and defect free carcases), and

  • a 20% weighting applied to the timing and quantity of lambs delivered. Higher points will be awarded to members who deliver large number of lambs outside the Spring flush

Thanks to our generous Carcase Competition Sponsors
