Her Country Road Daranga Astina cow took out supreme dairy exhibit for the fourth time running, as well as winning champion cow.
Meanwhile the cow’s daughter, a two-year-old heifer, also won best udder.

More prize exhibits were on show at the revamped poultry shed, with some stunning chickens, ducks and guinea fowl making a racket.
Boorhaman bird breeder Greg Vonarx’s old English game male won champion bird, which poultry shed steward Breanna Carr said was down to the bird’s fitness.
“He’s got good structural soundness that he’d be able to jump up and run around and do heaps of different activities,” she said.
