The Hanson family from Bullakeana, Theodore, had their name written into the history books as the inaugural winners of the Ultrablack/red stud cattle judging ring at Beef on Tuesday.
International judge PJ Budler selected their junior champion bull, Bullakeana Wide Load as the grand champion male, while it was their senior female, Bullakeana Very Now, that took the equivalent title in the female classes.
Wide Load claimed the bull 17 months and under 19 and junior championship to take the top prize.
"I like the muscle and bone on this bull, he is big footed and moves really, really well, he's a really good industry bull," judge PJ Budler said.
It marked the first time the breed has had a dedicated judging ring at Beef Australia.
