The Gatton Dairy Showcase held in conjunction with Gatton Show on 13th July 2022, saw 38 top quality Illawarras presented to judge Jason Smith, Baromi Stud, Victoria. Numbers were slightly down across all breeds due to the incessant wet weather and staffing issues experienced by exhibitors.

Quality was fairly even but the Henry Family (White Park & Tara) of Hodgsonvale, Toowoomba was the standout exhibitor winning Champion Cow and Champion Intermediate with the Matt Henry and Shane Bourke combo winning Champion Juvenile.

Congratulations to all nine exhibitors on a magnificent display.
