AN ecstatic Greg and Kel Kelly, Juandah Grazing, Giligulgul, Guluguba, took out the two main prizes in the Royal Queensland Show's prime cattle competition on Thursday afternoon.
They were awarded the Queensland Country Life and Syd Vellnagel grand champion pen for their pen of three heifers and the champion local trade weight for a single steer, which was in the 360-480 kilogram class.
Judges Troy Setter, Consolidated Pastoral Company, and Steve Martin, Myona, Coonamble, were detailed with their judging.
“We are looking for the most even, the most complete, the most red meat from head to toe,” Mr Setter said of the pen of three heifers that took out the grand prize.
It was a good day for Prue and David Bondfield, Palgrove, Dalveen, who won champion pen of six, reserve pen of six and reserve champion of three for their Charolais-cross cattle.
Champion single steer went to Travis Luscombe, Toowoomba, for his Limousin-cross steer, which entered the 601-720 kilogram class.
Reserve went to Kim Groner and Glen Waldron, Elite Cattle Co, Meandarra.
