The annual Australian Brahmousin Society cattle handling and judging school at Nanango attracted 130 entries at the weekend.<\/p>\n

Society secretary Amanda Graham, from Memerambi, said the youngest student at the three-day school was a three-year-old in the “Nipper” category while the oldest was in his late 50s.<\/p>\n

However, the vast number of entries were high school students, and they came from all over south-east Queensland to take part.<\/p>\n

One entrant even came from the United Kingdom!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amanda said the students were learning about cattle preparation, selection for shows, judging and practical tasks such as artificial insemination.<\/p>\n

And not all the cattle were Brahmousin.<\/p>\n

“We are quite a small society really so we are happy to have the support of other breed associations,” Amanda said.<\/p>\n

She said the different breeds also helped the students to gain more experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many come back year after year to hone their skills.<\/p>\n

“Some of these kids have been coming for the past 15 years,” Amanda said.<\/p>\n

This the second year that the Brahmousin school has been held at Nanango Showgrounds; before that it was held at Wondai.<\/p>\n

The school was sponsored by ruralwebsites.com.au, Telstra, the South Burnett Regional Council, Teys Australia, Ashmore Palms Holiday Village, Riverina Stockfeeds, ACGB Electrical and the MLA.<\/p>\n
