There’ll be no excuse for young cattle experts not to shine in the show ring after a four-day school held in Wondai.
Ranging in age from primary students to adults, the 95 students who converged on Wondai Showgrounds from Beenleigh to Roma all had one thing in common … a desire to learn more about cattle handling and judging.
The school, run from Thursday to Sunday, was organised by the South Burnett-based Australian Brahmousin Association.
This is the 11th year that the cattle school has been run in Wondai.
Topics covered included preparing cattle for the show ring, parading, Young Judges competitions and how to select bulls and females.
The students also visited Kev Perkins’ KJAL Feedlot at Wooroolin to learn about judging prime cattle.
Australian Brahmousin Association president Steve Daly said some students come back every year to keep polishing their skills.
“A lot have come back three or four times,” he said.
