The Sydney Royal Angus Feature Show Bull and Female judging took place on the 13th and the 14th of April, with over 328 exceptional animals on display, despite the rough conditions over recent times.
The judging was quite a spectacle, with many commenting on the sheer number of exhibits taking part, a testament to the dedication of the breeders and their teams.
International judge William McLaren proceeded over the events. Hailing from the Netherton Stud, Perth, Scotland, Mr McLaren put his 28 years’ experience in judging cattle into use over the 45 classes.
The bull judging was the first to take place on Saturday, April 13, with plenty of excellent Angus cattle on display.
Grand Champion Angus Bull was awarded to the Senior Champion Bull Black Diamond 5R Kodiak N411, exhibited by Pine Creek Angus Stud. Pine Creek was recognised for celebrating their 50 years as members of Angus Australia in 2019, continuing their showing legacy at this year’s feature show. The champion bull weighed in at 924kg, and scanned with 11 millimetres of rump fat, eight millimetres of rib ft and an EMA of 131.
Mr McLaren said he was very correct, long and had extension throughout.
Reserve Champion Senior Bull was awarded to Tattykeel Global M14 exhibited by Tattykeel Pty Ltd.
