Third attempt at posting this cos my puter is giving me grief. Hopefully its third time lucky.
Just some shots of cattle etc at the recent Royal Canberra Show. Finally got around to uploading them.
Apologies in advance for the random breeds represented here - I was looking after the dairy cows during the beef interbreed, and I sent the kids out with the camera asking them to take a photo of the winners of each beef breed. Well, they came back with pictures mostly of the minority breeds lol ah well
Champion beef bulls in the interbreed - for those interested, the Limousin bull won the bull interbreed and the overall interbreed, the charolais cow won the female interbreed, I thought the cow should have beaten the bull but oh well. She was the closest I have ever seen to an ideal female.
Poll Hereford
Angus
Belted Galloway
Charolais
Dexter
Lowline
Parade of champions
Some of the Speckle Park champions
The Murray Grey champions
Miniature Galloway champions - that dun bull up the front was as good as any mainstream beef bred bull - he was very impressive
A not very good picture of our 16 mth old baby bull
Our 15 mth old heifer
Lovely Illawarra cow
Nice 10 mth old friesian heifer
One of the novely events is the Canberra Calf Capers - the calves that were brought along to be shown 'at foot' with their mothers, are dressed up in costumes and brought into the ring by themselves. Started as an event for the real little kids - toddlers up to about 7 or 8 yrs old - but now they have a class for older kids and adults as well
The princess and the frog
Vancouver
Rubber duckie
Other costumes were Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde, School kids, Milk tanker and farmer, princesses, fairies ...
Black and coloured sheep in the animal nursery
Large white x landrace piglets in the animal nursery
Mini donkeys in the animal nursery
Goats in the animal nursery
Poddy calf in the animal nursery - looked a bit brangus
Giant display made from fruit and veges
Wool competition
