An eye-appealing 16-month-old bull has taken has come out on top of the tables and won supreme in the Angus judging.
The Cowra-based stud, Pine Creek, NSW, were proud to parade the 792-kilogram bull with 124 square centimetre eye muscle area and, 15 millimetre rump and 13mm rib.
Stud principals Greg and Sharon Fuller's earlier sashed junior champion bull, PC Top Prize T048, went head-to-head with its senior champion counterpart to take out the title.
PC Top Prize T048 was sired by Northern View SMW Gustov 3Z and out of PC Miss J177 Tiger N172.
Before impressing the judge Jack Laurie, Gloucester, NSW, it won its class 14 months and under 16 months.
Diamond Angus stud principal Christie Fuller is the daughter of Pine Creek's Greg Fuller and was well-versed on the supreme bull's background.
The bull attended Sydney Royal earlier in the year and will head to Melbourne Royal in the coming weeks.
"There is something really special about this bull, it has really good data," Ms Fuller said.
"He is pretty eye appealing and a bull which carries himself well. It has good carcase attributes, too.
"They are excited to keep it in the herd as a young sire."
The supreme exhibit was by an impressive Canadian bull which Greg Fuller owns exclusive rights to.
"This bull will stay in the stud and maybe head to Beef Australia at Rockhampton next year," Ms Fuller said.
PC Top Prize T048 will go into a joining program in October.
Ms Fuller also walked away with a swag of champion titles of her own, taking home grand champion female, senior champion female, junior and reserve champion female titles.
Ms Fuller and her partner Gavin Iseppi run Diamond Angus, Cowra, NSW, and performed at their best at the Royal Adelaide Show.
The grand champion female was snapped up by DSK Pep Martina R77, which won senior champion female and its class, class 30 months and over.
It was sired by DSK Tel Pep P48 and out of DSK Dvai Martina, and Ms Fuller purchased the grand champion two years ago from DSK Angus stud's Flemington female sale.
"We picked her out as a heifer at the sale and she has performed well in the ring," Ms Fuller said.
Weighing 900kg, the second calver had good overall volume and capacity.
"She is a big girl and in calf. She is plenty of cow," Ms Fuller said.
Pep Martina R77 will be kept in the stud to breed and head to Melbourne Royal to compete.
