Despite having fewer exhibits than previous years, Droughtmaster breeders were happy to be back and celebrating their 60th year at the Ekka.
Bouldercombe based stud Glendlands Droughtmasters well and truly cleaned up across all classes, taking out Champion female and Champion bull, as well as a swag of other placings.
Grand champion female Glenlands D Bells 'N' Whistles was the standout entry of the competition, with judge Brett Kinnon saying the cow was " a perfect representation of the breed."
With more than half of the Droughtmaster entries scratching prior to competition, it was clear that fears around foot and mouth disease were having a huge effect on numbers at this years exhibition.
