Royal Adelaide Show hosts first time exhibits in the Guernsey ring

Brookleigh ML Banoffee owned by LF&JM Cleggett, Glencoe, took out first place in the 6&7 year old in milk class, before taking out the senior champion accolade.

Judge Julie Moore, Dorrigo, NSW, said the senior champion was put together really well.

"She is open throughout, she's got dairyness, she's got angle of rib and the udder is really snug," she said.

"The udder is well connected on the fore udder."

Amy Cleggett, Glencoe, said it was the senior champions first show due to the COVID show cancellation.

"She is on her fourth lactation and won the type and production award as well.

"She is a cow we probably don't notice a lot of at home, she just rolls in, does her job and rolls out.

"She is a really nice cow from one of our good show families.

"Her grand dam had a full sister that was champion here."

The senior reserve Brookleigh Domesticate from the 5 year old in milk class was also in the ring for the first time this year.

"She is on her second lactation," she said.

"I have always admired her and I quite liked her on her first lactation but she wasn't quite there.

"I thought we would definitely show her in the future."

The intermediate champion cow was the cow 2.5 year old in milk Brookleigh DC Present.

Ms Moore said she won because of the way she blends together.

"She's got more openness throughout and she has a nice udder too," she said.

Ms Cleggett said she was a twin and was a terror as a calf.

"It was also her first show, we have quite a new show team this year," she said.

"She is one of my favourites in the herd."

Ms Cleggett, Glencoe, said the junior champion which had never been shown before was a "really well balanced heifer".

"She was actually my third cow of my team, and so she nearly stayed home," she said.

"But then we decided we better bring her because she looked like she was the best heifer of the group.

"Her grandma won intermediate champion here six years ago."
