Mr Coddington and his team, which included wife Cherie, and their four children, won the Bruce Merriman Memorial Perpetual Trophy: Exhibit of Five Merino August Shorn Sheep.

"The kids love it," Mr Coddington said.

"They can all be a part of it and help hold."

Matthew and Cherie own and manage Roseville Park Merino Stud on 3240 hectares, just south of Dubbo.

There were many worthy competitors on the day, but Mr Coddington believes what set him apart was uniformity.

"To win that award, it all comes down to evenness and depth of breeding," he said.

"Basically two peas in a pod."

Mr Coddington explained that the sheep have to be as similar as possible.

"The sheep have to match and be very even and structurally correct," he said.

Roseville also took out the Grand Champion awards for fine medium wool merino ewe and medium strong wool poll merino ewe.

Mr Coddington says he couldn't of asked for a more perfect day.

"The crowd was good, and the weather was fantastic."

Mr Coddington is not yet done with competing and has three competitions remaining for the year, the NSW State Sheep Show which is held as part of the Dubbo?Show, the Australian Sheep and Wool Show in Bendigo and the big finale, the Dubbo National Sheep Show and Ram Sale in August.

There were 16 August shorn sheep that Mr Coddington and his team competed with at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, but the events in Bendigo and Dubbo will have the Roseville Park Stud showing off their March Shorn Sheep.

Along with competing at the Royal Easter Show, Mr Coddington was also the guest speaker at the official opening of the show.

Mr Coddington said in his speech he addressed many topics, but he wanted to acknowledge having the right attitude and passion will help in achieving results.

"I spoke on careers paths in the rural industry, and how you need to have passion and the right attitude to get into farming," he said.

"You must also be innovative, and be able to adapt to the environment and markets."
