WHILE there was no Romeo in the ring, judge Aimee Bolton fell in love with Jillangolo Juliet S10 to name the young heifer the supreme Red Angus exhibit on Saturday.
The Llewellyn family, Jillangolo Red Angus, Keith, who have been breeding Red Angus cattle for more than a decade may have been the sole exhibitors of the breed at the Royal Adelaide, but their lineup impressed the judge and spectators alike.
Juliet S66, a cow in the 14 months and under 16 months class that won junior and grand champion female, got the nod over the Llewellyn's grand champion bull Jillangolo Slingshot S48, who was also junior champion and out of the eight months and under 14 months class.
Ms Bolton said the two animals were similar in their maturity pattern, age, style and type, but the "stylish heifer" got the nod.
"She is really hard to fault at all," she said.
"She has great structural soundness and moves around really well on great feet and legs.
"She has a lovely weighty shape, is really refined through the front end, thick throughout the spine and opens up into that reproductive area.
"She's showing all the signs that she'll mature into a fantastic young female and put a great calf on the ground one day."
The young bull also earned the plaudits of Ms Bolton.
"He has good length of body, nice muscle, a nice front end and parades really well on a nice set of feet and legs," she said.
"It is a complete young animal that will turn into a good sire in the future."
The bull weighed 570 kilograms, with an eye muscle area of 105 square centimetres, rib fat of six millimetres and rump fat of eight mm.
The Llewellyns also collected the senior champion cow broad ribbon for Jillangolo Miley M58
