WHITAKER Mr Armani justified his high quality name last week when he won the supreme exhibit title at the Bundaberg Show.
The 15-month-old Mr Armani was by Carinya Fairmont out of Whitaker Miss Holly. He took out the Bos Indicus champion exhibit prior to the overall title.
It was another solid win for owners, Clint and Robyn Whitaker, Mundubbera, who have established a reputation for high achievements at the Bundaberg Show in recent years.
Rockhampton-based livestock agent, Simon Kinbacher, was the judge for the stud cattle section.
Mr Kinbacher said he felt the bull was what the Brahman breed was aiming for at the moment.
In the small breeds, Collinthia Park Lady Helen 2 was named the grand champion female as well as the small breeds champion exhibit.
The stud also won the grand champion bull ribbon with Collinthia Brandy Man.
The Forman family's Oakwood Pay Alease won grand champion Bos Taurus female while Whitaker Charolais secured the Bos Taurus champion exhibit prize with Whitaker Mack.
In the Bos Indicus section, the grand champion female ribbon went to Bundy Droughtmaster Emerald.
Mr Kinbacher said Bundaberg continued to provide a solid line-up of good quality cattle each year with more than 120 head shown throughout the day.
"With a good crowd that has rocked up there to, it all makes for a good day," he said.
The involvement of schools from throughout the Wide Bay region was another highlight for many with plenty of hands ready to help lead and show cattle.
