LEWIS Bruggemann, Wilmington, has won the champion herdsman title at the 2018 Landmark/CGU SA Junior Heifer Expo.
Mr Bruggemann, 23, works for Elders as a livestock agent covering the Port Augusta and Hawker areas.
He started taking part in the heifer expo at the age of 8 and had attended every year, with the exception of the past two, when he had work commitments.
The year was the final he could take part, due to the age cut-off of 23.
“A past winner said to me that I’d regret it if I didn’t take part one last time, and I’m really happy I decided to, not only because of the award, it’s a great show and I’ve had a really enjoyable week,” Mr Bruggemann said.
