NSW FAR SOUTH COAST ON FARM CHALLENGE 2018

The NSW Far South Coast on farm challenge was held on the 1st and 2nd of November 2018 and was judged by Will Smith of Willmoo Illawarras, Gympie, Queensland. Judging of the Illawarras coincided with judging of the Holsteins and Jerseys and a combined breeds presentation night was held at Brogo Hall, just north of Bega.

At the presentation night Will commented on the high quality of entries including those that didn't make it into the top 5 for each class.

Champion cow was awarded to Jelgowry Ruth 5 in a close victory over Jelgowry Dainty 21 who claimed Reserve Champion. Jelgowry Rita 2 claimed Honourable Mention. Congratulations to the Russell family of Jelgowry stud. Will pointed out that these cows were 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the mature cow class and commented that they were a great example of Illawarra longevity. Jelgowry Ruth 7 was awarded best udder.
