On a day where it was a case of ‘hold onto your hat & batten down the hatches’ James Breen, “Hazelmont”, Beeac, Victoria, said he saw a great line of Illawarra cattle presented by the 6 exhibitors when he judged the Illawarras at Murray Bridge Show on September 23rd 2017. “Right from the start I’ve seen true Illawarra character, with great width from head to tail.”
James also judged the Interbreed classes along with the other 3 breed judges, and then the 8-11 years Junior Handler Class.
