A magnificent rising four-year-old cow from NSW stud Pine Creek continued its remarkable tri-coloured ribbon run as the grand champion Angus female.
Judge Tim Lord, Bowral, NSW, said Pine Creek Miss E99 Foreman and her bull calf PC Complement had the show ring appeal and commercial traits he was looking.
“If you get behind that female she has so much volume and she is so fluid getting around the ring,” he said.
“She is a great powerful cow – you could paint her any colour and she could win in any breed,” he said.
At the 2017 Sydney Royal Easter Show the dynamic package was the grand champion Angus female and runner-up to the Urquhart Trophy winner.
As a heifer at Sydney in 2015 Miss E99 Foreman was the interbreed champion.
Pine Creek owners Greg and Sharon Fuller and Christie and Andrew Kennedy, Cowra, NSW also claimed the grand champion bull, Pine Creek 94S Legend L025
After being on the show circuit for two years and many reserve champions the 30 month old finally cracked grand success.
Pine Creek own the Australian rights to Legend’s sire Canadian bull Gumbo Gulch Creed 94S.
“As a 15 year old bull it (Gumbo Gulch Creed 94S) was still winning over there,” Ms Kennedy said.
Mr Lord, who manages KO Angus stud in the NSW Southern Highlands, gave the 1180 kilogram bull the nod for its red meat content and mobility.
“It had that extra depth of hindquarter and boldness of rib shape and amount of ema and muscle I was looking for,” he said.
Pine Creek – who last exhibited in Adelaide in 2014 – added to their broad ribbon haul with junior champion bull, Black Diamond 8088 Complement M400.
The well-muscled 885 kilogram bull had an eye muscle area of 126cm2 and fat depth of 14mm rump and 11mm rib.
The Newman family, Meadows, exhibited the junior champion heifer, Newlyn Park Laura M9.
It was an impressive “wedge shaped female.”
“She has that refinement through the front and beautiful laid in shoulders but it was depth and volume through the middle that got her over line,” Mr Lord said.
The 15-month-old was a son of docility sire PA Power Tool and out of KO Laura E115 – a female who has had a major impact on Newlyn Park’s herd.
Mr Lord had high praise for one of the largest showings of Angus cattle in Adelaide in about five years
“The top end of cattle would compete in any show in the country,” he said.
