IN her first outing in the show ring since the being sashed grand champion heifer at the Charolais national show as a calf, Winchester Net F22E was supreme Charolais exhibit at the Royal Melbourne Show.
A 33-month-old cow with a seven month bull calf-at-foot, Winchester Net was described as a “fantastic exhibit” by judges Michael Ireland, Buln Buln, and Kane Sparkes, Leongatha.
Exhibited by Gavin O’Brien, the judges also admired the cows length of body and carcase attributes, as well as the carcase attributes of her bull calf.
“The bull has the same outstanding qualities and will go on to do a good job for someone in the future,” Mr Sparkes said.
And she must have had a lot going for her, because she bet out grand champion Charolais bull Rosedale Hero, who the judges described as being a “super sire of the Charolais breed”.
Exhibited by JM, MJ&JL Millner, the judges also commented on the bulls “real width and carcase” and “good head and neck extension”.
