Polwarth & South Grenville, in western Victoria, was a Victorian State electoral district from 1859 - 1889. This medal was awarded by the P.& S.G.P.A.& H.S. at the Colac Spring Show in 1874. The estate of the late J.Calvert was very successful in many categories in the show. An account of the show stated as follows, 'In the Cotswold ram class, the executors of the late J.Calvert had it nearly all their own way, they taking every prize except one, a second, which was awarded Mr J.Howatson. The judges expressed an opinion that the sheep exhibited in the Cotswold ram of any age class the best they had seen in the colonies.'
