Well a good friend of mine took out the big one (senior champion herdsman), I'm still considering travelling to the states with her, would be fun to go together.
I only just missed out too, still kicking myself, eventually I'll stop going on about it!
Overall our team had a really successful trip.
We won junior champion heifer, a 2nd in the next junior class (the judge realised he'd made a mistake when we were out for the championship I think- if we'd won we would have been reserve), another heifer came 4th in the same class as mine.
Then the girl leading our junior champ won intermediate champion parader, intermediate junior judge, bay leader award and 2nd in the intermediate section scholarship.
The other girl that came with us came 3rd in her paraders and also 3rd in the intermediate section scholarship.
My cousin who is new to showing came 4th in her paraders leading one on my/my partner's heifers and finished in the top 10 for sub intermediates so she was thrilled.
And then I came 3rd in my paraders, won the senior marketing (still don't know how!), and reserve senior champion herdsman... by 1.5 points!! (yeah, I'm still dealing with that one- I'll get over it eventually!)
So here are a few pics- they're not great, the shed we show in is terrible for lighting.
Elyse with Nero Lock Belle
My cousin Nicole with my heifer Eselar Park Lock Lady Di
This heifer was reserve intermediate champion and is one of the first calves by a bull my sister-in-law sold
Our junior champion Nero Lock Victoria with Steph
Me with my heifer Eselar Park Lock Honour
And again... I look so impressed!
Placegetters in my paraders class
The junior class winners during the championship judging
Me and Snowball again
Steph and our junior champ
Reserve and champion intermediate paraders (the Simbrah on the left was senior champion heifer, white Shorty junior champ)
This winning is hard work...
NSW Shorthorn Youth team
And again
The NSW competitors, including the senior champion herdsman, reserve senior champion herdsman, intermediate champion parader, reserve senior parader, intermediate junior judge, senior junior judge, senior marketer and junior champion heifer (and lots of other winners/placegetters in heifer and parader classes, and relevant sections)
