What a great start to the show season in the Sunshine Coast area, with Gympie show morning fine and clear. After a crisp start, temperatures heated up very quickly to an unseasonal high of 28 degrees. Great to see Brad Holt and family back in the show ring with a fine line of young heifers.
Matt Henry’s team (Tara & White Park) couldn’t put a foot wrong before Judge, Damen Phillips (Sunny View) taking out all three championships plus Reserve and Honourable Mention Juvenile.
Juvenile champion went to White Park Roseleaf 142, Junior champion to Tara Cherry 10 and Senior Champion to Venvale Thelma 121.
White Park Roseleaf 142 continued Matt’s success in the Supreme competition, taking out Supreme Champion Juvenile.
In the 24hr On Ground Milking Competition, the Ledger Family’s Riverwood Moss 2 was named Supreme Champion Butterfat Cow with Riverwood Model 6 taking Reserve.
