Blayney Show 2017

Blayney was a freezing cold, windy, miserable day - in other words, a fairly typical autumn day in this area! During the hectic early morning washing, Monza managed to hurt himself and as such was left at home to wait for the vet to arrive, so in a last minute decision, Magnolia was thrown on the trailer to ensure there would be enough Lowlines at the Show for us to have our own breed classes.

Massive thank you to Logan for coming and giving us a hand - pictured doing a fantastic job of parading Magnolia

Sounds good on paper - except that poor little Magnolia was barely halter broken and definitely not show ready! Poor thing learnt in the space of a few hours about nose dogs, washing, blowing, show canes, travelling, showing... All the things we usually like to introduce a little more gently! But, true to form, she handled it like a champion. Magnolia was given a first place ribbon for her efforts, and then valiantly went against some older cows for Champion! It wasn't to be, but the experience was great for her.

Zoom Zoom also went, and was much better behaved than she had been at Canberra. She was given 2nd out of a class of 3, with the judge very happy with her size and conformation. This made us very keen for Bathurst in April!
