The National All Breeds Junior Heifer Show went ahead at Dubbo 2nd – 4th September, purchase despite heavy rainfall and flood warnings in the area.
We had some Simmental breeders represented and Simmental Junior members on show in the ring.
The Steele family from Gresford attended with some Valley Creek females. Charlie Steele came first with VC Lady Luck in her heifer class. Emma came third with VC Lovestruck in the same. Charlie came third in his Pee Wee paraders class. Emma came first in her Junior paraders class and went on to win Reserve Champion in the Juniors section. Jack came first in Junior Herdsman. Charlie came fifth in Pee Wee Herdsman and third in Class 5 in Paraders.
