The 53rd Mt Pleasant Illawarra Feature Show (South Australia) was held recently on March 15 with Ms Wendy Harker, 'Westell', Te Awamutu, New Zealand adjudicating.
Ms Harker said "It was a pleasure to judge a high standard of Illawarra cattle at the Mt Pleasant Show. The Supreme Champion Cow was an outstanding example of the breed with superb udder traits. The Junior Champion was also a wonderful uddered cow which has all the makings of a future senor champion. I also enjoyed judging the Young Handlers Class with 4 under 14 year old competitors – they are the future of our breed and it was lovely to see their skill and enthusiasm for handling their calves and yearlings in the show ring."
The Illawarra Senior Champion, Blackwood Park Laurel 90 (J C Altmann & Son) was also named Supreme Champion.
