While the Wide Bay Burnett Illawarra Cattle Club's Calf Day had to be canceled due to Cyclone Marcia approaching, the following weekend was fine, so teams headed off to the Beaudesert Showgrounds for the South East Queensland Club's event on Sunday, March 1st.
Numbers were boosted by larger-than-normal teams from Jondene, Riverwood, and Den Dia. Two trucks hit the road from the Sunshine Coast to Beaudesert thanks to Ron Pratten agreeing to drive the Ledger truck while Steve was off playing cricket. Seven exhibitors paraded 52 heads before Judge Graham Radel (Happy Valley Stud, Biggenden).
The Ledger Family took out both Junior and Senior Championships with Riverwood Waffle 6 and Riverwood Lorna 35, respectively. Roly and Sharyn Voss won Reserve Champion Senior with Mt Vista Tulip 12, and the Pratten family (Den Dia Partnership) won Reserve Junior with Den Dia Empress 97.
The Canning & Hinrichs Families took out Champion Bull with Whispering Rose Mt Geronimo with Reserve Champion going to Peter and Cheryl Ardrey's Cheralyn Duke.
