The Illawarra breed also achieved success in the Young Judges ring at the 2010 Brisbane Ekka with Hodgsonvale’s Matt Henry taking out the State Final of the Young Judges competition.  Matt will now travel to Adelaide Show in 2011 to compete in the Australian Final.

Matt has a long and distinguished heritage being the son of Mike and Glenda Henry (Tara Stud, Hodgsonvale, Toowoomba) and grandson of Joyce Savage (White Park Stud, Hodgsonvale, Toowoomba).

While Matt has been competing in Young Judges’ competitions for a number of years, he has been on the list of Illawarra Judges for some time and has accepted a number of invitations to judge at shows across Queensland in recent times.  With over twelve months to hone his skills, Matt is sure to do well in Adelaide.  Don't forget your tie and hat!

Congratulations Matt.
