FINLEY, NSW, stud Woodlawn Holsteins took the supreme senior exhibit award at the Victorian Winter Fair at Bendigo on Thursday with a cow that was the interbreed champion at the Sydney Royal Show earlier this year.
Nick Flanagan said he was thrilled with the win by the seven-year-old Mooramba Talent Randell.
"It was a big win competing against all the top cows from International Dairy Week," he said.
The Flanagans bought the cow two years ago in Shane and Julie Flynn's Mooramba Holsteins, Toolamba, dispersal sale.
Mr Flanagan said she was a terrific cow in the herd.
"She's so aggressive and powerful, the way you need them to be," he said.
The Flanagans will again breed the cow, now in its fifth lactation, with the aim of bringing it back to the fair next year to defend its title.
Judge Perry Phend, from Wisconsin, United States, said the winner was an "amazing, amazing cow".
"It's great to see a cow that old, with all the parts and hardly anything wrong with her," he said.
The cow also took the supreme best udder award.
The reserve champion was Bluechip Genetics' five-year-old cow Bluechip Goldwyn Paradise.
The reserve finished off a good day for Bluechip, which was named premier breeder and exhibitor at the show.
It took the intermediate champion award with three-year-old Paringa Windstorm Ezra, also owned by Phil Malcolm.
The cow also won the intermediate award at last year's inaugural Victorian Winter Fair and the intermediate championship at International Dairy Week earlier this year.
It had been bought as a heifer at a sale at Shepparton, Vic, in 2013 from Phil Malcolm's daughter Kellie.
Bluechip also bred the junior champion, Bluechip Finalcut Marion, which was bought by Shepparton friends Peter Hurley and Debbie Palmer at the Bluechip sale last June.
The heifer took supreme junior exhibit at the winter fair for the second time.
"We were under a lot of pressure for her to prove herself as defending champion," Mr Hurley said.
