The Illawarra breed featured at the Toowoomba Royal Show for 2019. Despite very harsh weather conditions on the Darling Downs, 55 head were presented to Judge, Mr Keith Dorries of the Panorama Stud, Oakey.
A number of Illawarra champions went on to take out their respective Supreme Championship including the Junior Champion, Tara Lace 14, Intermediate Champion, Jondene Kay 19 and Senior Champion, Silverleigh Pixie 34.
Both the Pen of Three Heifers and Pen of Three Cows took out the Supreme pens.
Congratulations to Rob and Jo Lindsay on taking out both Supreme Champion and Reserve Supreme Champion in the Intermediate Best Udder & Attachment. Unfortunately, Rob & Jo’s Holstein heifer was placed above their Illawarra heifer, Waraba Cindy 3.
Probably the best result of the show was that the majority of exhibitors received some very welcome rain.
Thank you to Tanya and Ron Pratten for again taking the class photos and live streaming the championship classes.
