BEEF PARADERS: Lachlan Haynes (Gooloogong), Paige Hatton, Tara Hughes, Oscar Schafer, Will Moxey (Forbes) and Jada Buchan all primed for the Sydney Royal Easter Show in April after coming through the qualifiers.
Eugowra Show in conjunction with the Central Western Association of Agricultural Shows held the group finals for beef cattle paraders and beef cattle, dairy cattle, merino sheep, meat breeds sheep, merino fleece, grain and fruit and vegetables young judges.
These competitions present the opportunity for young people to qualify for the state competitions hosted at the Sydney Royal Easter Show by the Agricultural Societies Council of NSW and Royal Agricultural Society of NSW.
While these are competitions, they also allow the development of the next generation of agricultural show enthusiasts and expertise in industry through education and networking.
This year the group finals were fortunate enough to have the very high-quality competition judges in Steve Eagles from Passchendaele Ayrshires and Holsteins, Dennis Moxey from Denngal Santa Gertrudis, Greg Sawyer of Elders Molong, Steve Chester of Quality Wool, Brendan Mansbridge of KMWL and Brooklyn Park Poll Dorset Stud, Lydia Herbert previous state young judges winner and Stuart Muller of Western District Exhibit.
The quality of competitors was high. Congratulations and best of luck to the entrants heading to the state finals in April.
