WOONALLEE Kathie G73, shown by Tom and Lizzy Baker, Furner, made it back-to-back Royal Adelaide Show wins for the Simmental female grand championship.
The magnificent cow was accustomed to the spotlight as a member of the Baker family's show team for the third year.
She was a member of the grand champion interbreed pair in 2013 and, as a heifer, she had been in Woonallee's interbreed sire's progeny group 2012 win.
She was also supreme champion exhibit at the 2013 Royal Melbourne Show.
Judge Ben Davies, Wild Bear Hereford stud, Naracoorte, was full of praise for his grand champion female which had a 3.5-month-old bull calf at foot by Woonallee Headstrong, sold at the stud's 2014 on-property sale earlier this year.
Woonallee again dominated judging, winning nine of the 10 broad ribbons.
"It is always nice in showing when you can go back-to-back with animals. It is nice to see her come through from a heifer to now being a three-year-old and still impress," stud principal Tom Baker said.
Kathie's first calf Woonallee Jumbo will be one of the star lots in Woonallee's 2015 on-property sale next February.
The junior and grand champion bull was Woonallee Justified J112, described by Mr Davies as having "a lot of presence" and packed full of performance.
Weighing 700 kilograms at just 14 months, the bull was one of the first progeny of Woonallee Gangster, an embryo-bred bull being used in the stud, from Buzzard Hollow Ranches in the United States.
"He is a really correct calf with a good spring of ribs, great muscling and huge capacity," Mr Davies said.
"He is very, very even with good balance, sire appeal and always stands up well," he said.
In the junior championship Mr Davies, who has 14 years experience working in meat processing, praised the evenness of the three class winners.
The judge said all three animals bred and owned by Woonallee had the same stamp - moderate growth-pattern cattle with great carcase, good topline, huge spring of rib, neck extension and good testicles.
The junior champion female was a April 2013-drop, black-coated heifer, Woonallee Charo J252. She was was also the intermediate champion at the SA Junior Heifer Expo in July.
