Feature Show Toogoolawah

DROUGHTMASTER FEATURE EVENT

AFTER THE DISAPPOINTMENT of cancelling Gatton Futurity it was great to be able to host an event to the scale of the Droughtmaster Feature Event held at Toogoolawah, 24th and 25th June 2022. The Friday morning session featured the Judging of the Unled Females. This is the first time Unled Females have been included in a Droughtmaster Feature Event. Judge Grame Hopf and Associate Judge Isaac Day handed down the results to a crowd of 100. The early afternoon sessions included an Artificial Insemination presentation by Dave McCabe, a Nutrition talk from Riverina and a Structural Soundness and Evaluation talk from Grame Hopf. A judging tutorial from Graham Brown, Steve Farmer, Stephanie Laycock and Rob Orphant was held in between the Junior Parader and Junior Judging competitions. There were 60 nominations for the Junior Competitions. The day ended with a BBQ dinner and an entertaining hotly-contested trivia night hosted by Graham Brown. Saturday was an early start to the Led Cattle Judging, judged by Marty Rowlands and Associate Judge Isaac Day, 186 head from 53 exhibitors were put in front of the judges. The event finished with a presentation night where we heard from quest speaker Don McConnel, Mt Brisbane Droughtmasters. This event was able to take place with the help of our generous sponsors - Major Sponsor – GDL and event sponsors Elders, Cattle Breeding Services and Riverina. We also thank the hard working and very active event committee, Inga Hayes who did a great job MC’ing the entire weekend, and finally thanks go to Jenny & Roger Underwood for recording the day with the many photos from the ground and the air, we have included a snippet of these photos below and a larger gallery and full results of the day are available on www.droughtmaster.com.au
