Berwick ranks highly in show memories from my childhood. As a teenager I spent many weekend at shows around Victoria, but particularly in the Gippsland region. It was at Berwick many years ago that I entered my first cattle handlers competition. As a student at Tintern, we were exhibiting a couple of Murray Grey heifers, but the number of students heavily outweighed our cattle. It was a Red Poll feature show and a school friend and I asked a friendly breeder if we would be able to borrow an animal for the handlers competition. That was really the start of great friendship and my journey into the stud cattle world.<\/p>\n
Jumping seventeen years forward and this year I was very pleased to be able to assist with the cattle rings. Thank you to Peter Wenn, Superintendent, and your beef cattle team for again hosting a brilliant day for exhibitors and public at Berwick.<\/p>\n
It was a delightful morning in the shade of the gum trees at Akoonah Park stewarding the European Cattle ring. 125 cattle were exhibited this year.<\/p>\n
