The Victorian Red Cow On Farm Challenge has been completed with 175 entries presented to Judge, Max Hyland of Rockvale Ayrshires, Shepparton.
This hotly contested and popular competition sees animals judged on farm, unled and presented in their natural working clothes. Breeders are restricted to a total of twelve entries. To make it into the top ten is a great achievement
Llandovery and Ovensdale studs starred winning two classes each with Llandovery RM Jacks Stately 1011 (Hayes Family) taking out overall champion. Winner of the Mature Class, Ovensdale Pixie 95 (R & M Newton) was pushed into the Honourable Mention position by Three Creeks Honeymoon 3, second to the overall champion in the 5 year old in milk class.
Rounding out the class winners were Erin Cullen’s Lara Pride Fernleaf and Raymond & Sarah Parker’s Glencliffe Jackie 67.
An encouragement award was introduced this year sponsored by Janelle Falls Elders Finley. The Judge’s Choice award went to A & V Hibberson’s Llandovery Blush’s Helen 1366.
Thank you also to major sponsors Genetics Australia and CrazyCow. Thank you also to the Fresh Cheese Company which supplied cheese hampers for third place winners.
