We have a winner!

The winner of our ‘Where on earth is Fred’ competition has been found!  Thanks to all of you that entered, we know it was a pretty tough one, but most of you got the location of our Spring/Summer 10 photoshoot correct – it was Australia (good on ya mate).

We had a group of our merino growers visiting from the Southern Alps today, and Emma Subtil from Omarama Station was able to make the draw for us which was pretty exciting.

Congratulations to Penny Tennant who gets a new Icebreaker top.  Watch this space for more competitions to come.
