Sydney Royal Easter Show 2026- where do we even begin!
A little late with the show post, but coming down from cloud 9 and back on WA time 👌😂
We are just so thrilled and over the moon to see Venturon Starstruck 172S be awarded the Hordern Perpetual trophy along with the great people at Caloona Charolais with their Grand champion bull. To travel the cattle 52 hours and come home with the top gong truly is such a special feeling and we will never forget Sydney 2026! Being the first Western Australian to win this award makes the award mean even more to us.
In the Charolais judging we had some amazing results under the respected eye of Mr Peter Cook, Barana Simmentals and Angus NSW.
Results-
Senior and Grand Champion female and Supreme Charolais exhibit- Venturon Starstruck 172S.
Junior Champion female- Venturon Naughty But Nice W90
Reserve Junior Champion female- Venturon Gayle V218
Senior Champion bull- Venturon Verified V81
Youngest cow class winner - Venturon Mellcat U213
Class winner- Venturon Vengeance V218
🥇 Breeders Group of Three
🥇 Dams progeny
🥇 Sires progeny
🥇 Pair of Heifers
We were also honoured to win the Most Successful exhibitor of the show as well as our 5th consecutive year of most points in the Charolais breed and best maintained team over 5 head in the Charolais.
One of our highlights of the day was being awarded 1/2/3/4 in the Under 12 month female class where our Junior champion female came out of.
Another truly special moment was winning the Dams progeny class with the progeny of the Hordern winning female, 172S as well as the sires progeny class with 172S et brother, Venturon Showbiz 161S.
A massive congratulations to the Frizzell family of Wakefield Charolais stud with their reserve junior champion Charolais bull, sired by Showbiz. That makes Showbiz the sire of both of the reserve junior champions and the senior champion bull and ET brother to the senior champion female!
We are so proud of how our team looked and performed this year and we want to thank our team for their dedication and help to get to this point- Bolts and Lisa, Gus, Brooke, Sam, TWD, Alizah, Tom, Josh and Jack, Monique, Will, Lonnie and Glen for the help show day!
Also to Summer and James/ the King family who helped us out show day and showed the two females they purchased out of our sale. We can’t wait to see how they go at their new homes!
A massive thank you to Neill for keeping the show running at home- feeding, calving and tagging AI calves and keeping the wheels turning and Clem and Lynda for staying so we could all enjoy this moment together!
I think it’ll take a while for this Sydney to sink in, but we’d like to thank everyone who helped us to get to this point. The messages, comments, calls and visits have meant the world.
We now turn our attention to the Charolais World Congress being held at Brisbane EKKA! We hope to see you all there 👌
Andrew, Anne, Harris and Hannah 🍻
