Shorthorn

South Island Milking Shorthorn Championship 2024

This year the South Island Milking Shorthorn Championship was held on-farm. 190 entries were entered in total with Wendy Harker taking this task on as judge. Wendy flew into Invercargill on the night of the 30th of January and on the 31st she was picked up from her motel at 7 am to start her judging in Southland. Over the next few days, she continued her travels up the country through Otago, up to Canterbury, and as far as Rai Valley.

Many Km were traveled to see the 190 head of red cattle and it had all been worth it. A big thank you goes to Wendy for taking this offer up. you have done an amazing job. Thank you to everyone who helped organize this on-farm competition. Thank you to everyone who put their cattle up to be judged, the stock all looked amazing!!
