The supreme bull award went to an Angus exhibit K5X Quantroy, shown by Stephen Hayward and Kelli Smith, Allora.

K5X Quantroy was praised by the judges as a great representative of the Angus breed, and he was an unanimous decision by all three judges.

Black Jack was exhibited by the Bushranger's Syndicate and shown by Matthew O'Dwyer, Kalbar, and described by Mr McUtchen as a stand-out steer, with even fat cover and was a very worthy winner. . .
