Rainy leads Angus Parade to Melbourne Royal Show Success
Angus supporters present at the judging of the Beef Interbreed competition at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Show were delighted when Myers Lady Louise U3 – also known as Rainy – took out the Supreme Beef Exhibit of the show.
Having advanced to the ultimate interbreed competition via the Angus Cow or Heifer 24 to 36 months class and being awarded Senior Champion Angus Cow, Grand Champion Angus Female, Supreme Angus Exhibit, and the Interbreed Supreme Senior Champion Beef Breed Female, Myers Lady Louise U3 represented the Myers Angus stud of The Rock NSW to take the top award of the beef cattle show.
Exhibited with a one-month-old calf at foot, Myers Lady Louise U3 was sired by Premier Stunner R55 out of Myanga Lady Louise L226.
Angus Australia CEO Scott Wright was on hand to watch proceedings at the show, saying ‘it was a great day for Angus.”
“I was delighted to attend the Melbourne Show judging and it was clear that Myers Lady Louise U3 is an incredible cow and a great testament to the breed. The Myers family deserves to feel very proud”, he said.
Scott also congratulated all exhibitors on a strong showing at the Royal Melbourne show this year. “The breed was well-represented with a great depth of stock, all of which were fine examples of the Angus breed.
Other Interbreed success was achieved by Murray Sowter and Annette Barham, of Ashgrove Angus from the Southern Highlands of NSW, who should congratulated on their showing of Ashgrove Lady Heather V9 who took out the Interbreed Supreme Junior Champion Beef Breed Heifer, after winning the 15-18 month and Junior Champion Angus heifer classes” he said.
