Cattle achieve success at Show

Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus cattle have achieved outstanding results at the Royal Easter Show, according to agriculture teacher Mr R Forsberg.

"In the year of the International Limousin Cattle Conference, the core component being held at the show, the Umina Campus has claimed major success," Mr Forsberg said.

This year's results include: champion open heavyweight steer (Donna Valley Lumberjack), highly-commended heavyweight steer (Donna Valley Zinger), third in open heavyweight steer class (River Glen Zambeezee) and fourth place in under-15 month heifer class (UHS Ashlee).

Kristy Warren was awarded second in NSW Cattle paraders and Samantha Hinton third place.

Both students are in Year 12 at the college.

"The Agriculture Faculty at the college is based on the Umina campus and boasts the best agriculture facility on the Central Coast," Mr Forsberg said.

"Umina Campus continually achieves outstanding results at all major agricultural shows across NSW and is a credit to the teachers and farm assistant who run the facility.

"The campus principal Mr Pat Lewis is continually being praised for its achievements by agriculture industry personnel."

All animals shown are prepared and fed at the Umina Campus, with Mr Ron Unsworth in charge of the program.
