Reserve Champion Shorthorn - Clonina Donna
1st Prize Shorthorn heifer class - Tessa X298 of Upsall
2nd Prize Shorthorn heifer class - Clonina Donna
Tessa and myself competing in the class for ladies exhibiting their cattle in the traditional dress and style of the country of origin of the breed. I carried an ash stick which is meant to bring good luck when handling cattle. It must have worked as I was the overall winner and received a lovely pink rosette.
This is Tessa when she came home from the show. She attracted a lot of attention and interest from visitors to the show. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are going into Beef Shorthorns and it looks like the breed has a great future.
