IN A NEW format with all Interbreed showing (Bos indicus and Bos taurus) and under judge, Wayne York, Karragarra Droughtmasters and Simmentals, Emerald, the Glenlands Stud, Bouldercombe claimed all Interbreed titles at the recent Rockhampton Show.

The prefi x took out the Supreme Interbreed, Grand and Senior Champion Bull with the 1064kg, Bateman. They secured the Supreme Interbreed, Grand and Senior Champion Female with Accolade. Bateman, Accolade and with a junior team member, Cherish they claimed the Supreme Interbreed Breeders Group. In earlier judging Glenlands youngster, Dapper (Medway Utopia) was sashed the Calf Champion Bull while Cherish (Maxamillion) took with her the Reserve Junior Champion Female. Reserve Junior Champion Bull was Comrade (Unreal) and another of the senior females, Belle (Voltage) took the Reserve Senior Champion Female. In claiming the major male title of the day Bateman (Virtue) saw off challengers from Brangus, Charbray, Brahman and Droughtmaster contenders while to get to the same level in the female tri coloured ribbon award, Accolade had to defeat Brahman and Speckle Park rivals. Commenting on the Supreme Champion Bull, Wayne York said it was the sheer volume of Bateman that put him on top overall. “He’s complete with thickness and muscle. He’s got looseness and softness of skin, stands on good bone, he’s reproductively sound and has a good sirey head,” Mr York said. “He’s a bull that I think ticks so many boxes in so many ways that well and truly puts him on top.” In the run up to the Rockhampton Show, Bateman took out similar titles at the Capella, Clermont and Springsure Shows. After Rockhampton he added the Mt Larcom Interbreed title to that list.
