Calrossy’s cattle team has achieved exceptional results at the recent Binnaway and Manilla Agricultural Shows, with students demonstrating outstanding livestock skills, judging ability and sportsmanship across a busy and successful fortnight.
The events are an important part of the School’s agricultural program, giving students valuable hands-on experience preparing, presenting and judging cattle while competing alongside other schools and local exhibitors.
Strong Results at Binnaway Show
It was wonderful for Calrossy to attend the local Binnaway Show and support such a valued community event.
Calrossy attended with 19 head of cattle and 17 students, and the team achieved some exceptional results across the weekend.
One of the first events was the F002 Parader Class, which brings together local representatives from across the district and provides students with the opportunity to qualify for the Parader Class at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
Calrossy had an outstanding result, with six students qualifying out of nine students who entered. Those who qualified were Stella Walsh, Harriet Callaghan, Audrey Bower, Aiden Rudder, Kenzi Ison, and Regan Banks.
The stud cattle events were held on Saturday, with Calrossy students achieving excellent results.
