HIGH summer temperatures did little to dent the enthusiasm of almost 100 young people who turned out for the Santa Gertrudis youth camp at Morgan Park, Warwick, this week.
In addition to learning about cattle and the beef industry, there was also plenty of time for fun and games at the four day camp including a games night, farmers challenge, and water slide.
Santa Gertrudis youth ambassador Maddy Page from Sheffield, Tas, said the camp was a excellent opportunity to meet and interact with young people interested in the cattle industry.
“It’s a lot of fun and a great way to learn about the industry with your friends,” Maddy said.
A number of awards will also be made including the champion junior commercial cattle judge, champion junior stud cattle judge, and a champion herdsperson. A Santa Gertrudis youth ambassador will also be selected during the event.
A semen auction will be held tonight to raise funds for future youth camps.
