The trek from Toowoomba to Gympie, once again paid off for the Henry family winning eleven classes of the total on offer at the 2017 Gympie Show, including Intermediate Champion, under Judge, Rob Lindsay, Waraba Stud, Warwick. The Henry’s success also included Reserve Champion Juvenile, Reserve Champion Intermediate and Reserve Champion Cow.
Junior Champion went to the Nicholls & Phillips families with Sunny View Bar Bure Pauline with the senior championship going to F S Johnston & Sons with Jondene Barbara 18.
In the production competition, the Ledger Family’s Fairview Treasure 76 and Riverwood Thelma 6 took first and second in the All Breeds Most Milk and Most Protein sections.
The weather wasn’t kind to exhibitors with rain throughout judging but a good display was put on for the few spectators who braved the weather, by the 49 exhibits. Special thanks to Judge, Rob Lindsay, for turning up after his wife Jo gave birth to their second son the evening before judging. Although a bit sleep deprived, Rob did a great job along with the help of his little assistant, Thomas. Jo is definitely a farmer's wife!
