Queenslander Walks the Walk at IDW

Queensland President, Mr Robert Lester, was given the honour of judging the Illawarra section at International Dairy Week 2010.

Bob, as he is commonly called, runs a 700 acre property at Warwick in conjunction with his brother Bill also a past president of the Queensland Illawarra Branch.  Milking an average of 150 cows and producing Lucerne, corn, wheat and barley, keeps Bob and Bill busy although he also finds time to play a bit of golf at the Warwick Golf Club.

Bob has judged at numerous country shows across Queensland over the years as well as Sydney and Adelaide Royal Shows twice and Toowomba Royal.

Bob’s comments on his choices at IDW as well as a full list of class placings are available on the CrazyCow website www.crazycow.com.au
