Kilcoy Show Prime Beef champions - Diamond L Charolais Stud
Judging for the Prime Cattle Section of the Kilcoy Show commenced at 6.30 am on Friday 7th May 2021 under the careful eye of judge David Musch from JBS at Dinmore.
The cattle had been penned by 3 pm the day before with Chief Steward Tony Woodrow overseeing the proceedings, with the help of stewards Dennis Bleakley, Glen Cameron, Blue Gleeson, Frank Patrick, Tony Martin, Donald McConnel, Kym Modistach, Clayton Roxborough, Jeff Shallcross, Darrell Smith, Kelvin Smith, Gary Webster, Ben Woodrow, Brett Woodrow, and Josh Woodrow.
The assistants were Mrs. Robyn Webster, Mrs. Wendy Smith, Mrs Kate Woodrow and Miss Libby Woodrow. These ladies purchase all the trophies locally and do lots of behind the scenes work. A total of eighty eight head of cattle came before the watchful eye of the judge. Glen Cameron said that the numbers were down quite a bit, but the quality of the cattle was high.
At the conclusion of the cattle judging the Junior Judges Competition took place together with the Highest Placed Local Young Judge. This was also competently judged by David Musch who gave the young judges a talk on their judging etc. Sarah Benbow won the Junior section with Chelsea Ferling taking out second place and Kodi Harrison third. Sarah will go on to represent the North Coast Sub Chamber at the Exhibition in Brisbane in August 2021. Sarah Benbow also took out the highest placed local young judge. The winners were presented with prizes from sponsors Kym and Denise Modistach and Don and Andrea Mc Connel.
The trophy presentation commenced at 1 pm with Glen Cameron speaking and thanking everyone for their help and thanking the exhibitors etc.
