Panorama Illawarras is situated at Oakey on the Darling Downs, 150 kms west of Brisbane.  Farm size 500 ha.  Herd size 120. Production avg 6700 litres, 4.0% bfat, 3.35% prot.  Commenced breeding in 1974 with the goal of breeding a herd of attractive, productive cows that perform under our dryland broadacre grazing conditions. 
 
Since 1980 we have had significant success showing large teams of cattle at Royal Shows.
 

At Brisbane we have been:
     Most successful exhibitor 13 times
     Champion Cow 8 times with 1 Supreme
     Reserve Champion Cow 4 times
     Champion Heifer 10 times with 2 Supremes
     Reserve Champion Heifer 9 times.
     Numerous type and production awards including Elite Lifetime Production Cow.

We have won Most Successful Exhibitor at Toowoomba Royal Show on 18 occasions.

Our showing success peaked in 2008 when Panorama Angeline 8 EX owned in partnership with Bluechip Genetics was awarded Grand Champion Cow at International Dairy Week in Victoria under well respected International Judge, Mr Doug Savage.

The introduction of outside Red genetics into the Illawarra breed has played a big part in our success with Venvale Parkes (Enhancer) having a big influence in the pedigrees of many of our big time winners and production cows.
