Warenda Sahara was Junior Champion bull at 19 months of age, weighed 878 kg and had an EMA of 130 sq/cm. He is sired by Wilgaroon Jester (P) and was placed first ahead of two other Wilgaroon Jester (P) sons from Warenda. The trifecta was assessed by one of Australia's most accomplished judges, Mr Colin Hewett, saying the three bulls were very uniform in type, structurally correct and carry a lot of muscle. The bulls placing 2nd and 3rd respectfully were Warenda Sampsonite (P) and Warenda Sentry (P). The three bulls had an average age of 19 months, an average weight of 877 kg and an average EMA of 124 sq/cm.
We exhibited an under 12 month bull by Yarrawonga Pheonix, Warenda Tomahawk, he placed second.
Warenda Secptre (P) was placed 4th in a very strong class. Mr Hewett was impressed with his correctness and length. Warenda Sherlock (P) won his 20-22 months class weighing a massive 1018 kg at 22 months of age with an EMA of 132 sq/cm.
Yamburgan also had great success by winning Senior Champion Interbreed Bull with Yamburgan Lockyer 2nd (P). He is by The Grove Lockyer X857. The other two bulls were placed 4th and 5th in a very strong class of bulls with six breeds being represented. These two bulls were also by The Grove Lockyer and were Yamburgan Lockyer 8th (P) and Yamburgan Lockyer 13th (P).
