Wattlewood Angus

have started showing from a young age and keeping their passion for cattle. “Teaching one kid just one thing and to see them coming back, for example there are children here that I have had at other heifer shows and they will come and see you in the shed first. It’s that connection and networking in the industry. “Through my three Roundups things have changed immensely. I have grown as a person and am more confident within myself. Obviously, each heifer show is an aim to grow, and Roundup has given me the opportunity to make connections that may not have been involved in the Angus breed.” “The stud that I balloted with in Armidale (2019), Carleon Angus actually messaged me after and paid for my entry to go to the National All Breeds to be a buddy for their son, and now I still message them occasionally, so just checking in with people is the biggest thing I have taken. “You meet so many people and the connections you make, even if it doesn’t continue right here right now, continues into the future.” And it might not be the last we see of Janet when it comes to being involved in Roundup. “There have been talks today with helping the current stud I am balloted with Dalwhinnie Angus, with breaking in their heifers for next year, so possibly.” Looking to her future in the industry, Janet has some targets she is looking to tick off. “I want to continue breeding and growing our stud and becoming a bigger stud producer to sell bulls." To round out her Roundup experience, Janet completed her weekend with a top five finish in the herdsperson competition.
