Grand Champion
And in the final battle for Grand Champion Bull, Junior Champion Ashwood Knockout took the top prize.
To crown those successes off, Ashwood also won all four Group Classes (Pair of Females, Pair of Bulls, Breeder’s Group and Progeny Stakes).
The Judge (Trevor Young) was high in his praise of all of the Ashwood cattle, declaring them “clear winners” on the day.
