There were 4 dairy breeds exhibiting at Murray Bridge Show but it was the Illawarras who took out most of the Interbreed awards. Damien Doecke won Interbreed Pen of 3 cows with a 100% score, Interbreed Intermediate Champion Cow and was Most Successful over All Breeds (great job considering the rest of his family were absent on the day). Rupert Gazzola won Interbreed Reserve Junior Champion Heifer with Neville Mueller winning Interbreed Senior Champion Cow.
