Bell Show Society held its annual two-day campdraft recently and the organisers are very happy, saying it was again a successful and rewarding event for competitors and committee.

Fine weather added to the perfect course conditions during the weekend with many competitors travelling long distances, from Injune, the Lockyer Valley, Mundubbera and the North Coast region.

An energetic new campdraft committee organised the event on behalf of the Bell Show Society and found the experience rewarding, interesting and enjoyable.

Competitors and sponsors of the campdraft appreciated the many months of hard work put in to make it a successful event.

The committee said it would like to thank the many tireless volunteers who assisted throughout the weekend to make the annual campdraft a success.

Cattle throughout the weekend ran well and the committee thanked all cattle donors, in particular, Rosevale Santa Gertrudis stud, for supplying the majority of cattle for the event.

The Bell Campdraft gave local and seasoned campdrafters the opportunity to display their horsemanship skills, trying to achieve the ultimate reward of positioning their cattle through the campdraft course gate.

High scores were recorded throughout the weekend with prizemoney and magnificent trophies being awarded to placegetters.

Trophies were presented to the highest scoring lady rider, highest scoring local rider and highest scoring Australian Stock Horse in each event.
