Dorrigo & Guy Fawkes Agricultural Show
Our son, Hugh (7), decided this year he would take one of his cows to the Dorrigo show and took out Supreme Shorthorn Exhibit. He picked out "Eungella Jess" who is sired by Eungella Deervale Royalty. This lovely little heifer has an amazing quiet temperament that flows through all our Deervale Royalty progeny. |
