Royal Bathurst Show 2018 recap

Another year, another Bathurst - except it was weirdly warm and not freezing. Strong winds on Sunday definitely dropped the temperature but nothing on previous years (in 2014 for example, it snowed).

We sold Magnolia, our only 2016 heifer left, so we took two senior girls instead: Zoom Zoom with Pickles and Ferrari with NickNack. Much to our surprise NickNack was perfectly behaved, but his mother acted up quite severely!

Zoom Zoom was a bit testy too and really made herself a handful for Sammi, so perhaps didn't walk as well as we know she could have. The judge still awarded her a Reserve Champion Senior Cow, so we were happy with that!

Lucy Kuipers' delightful junior heifer scooped grand champion Lowline and went on to be declared Junior Interbreed Female, a fantastic result. This makes two years in a row that a Lowline heifer has picked up and Interbreed title!

We will be taking Zoom Zoom and Pickles to Orange Show on the 28th and 29th April, so come and say hi! Pickles is the cuddliest and friendliest calf you'll ever meet, so you won't be disappointed!
