The Roma show saw support from studs in the Maranoa and Western Downs regions last Friday, with top quality Bos Indicus and Bos Taurus cattle coming head to head in the interbreed challenge.
It was a showdown between the Simmentals and the Santa Gertrudis in the female competition, while a Charolais bull impressed judge Lachlan Spry, Spry's Shorthorn and Angus Wagga Wagga, for the champion interbreed bull.
There were also plenty of young handlers hitting the ring, with Dowlands College, Toowoomba, putting in a good showing and the Nudgee College boys making the trip out from Brisbane.
