Stone Ridge Livestock, a local Fleckvieh stud recently hopped the border to attend the Brisbane Royal show (Ekka) with their team of four animals, alongside Gilgandra stud Wondenia-Denmire Fleckvieh with a team of three.

The long haul proving to be worth it when Stone Ridge received a first place in the Bull 16 to 20 month class with Stone Ridge Thor. The success continued in the Female classes when Denmire Tiffany took first place in the 20 to 30 months and then went on to receive Reserve Senior Female with her calf at foot Stone Ridge Von Dutch.

However the highlight of the day was Stone Ridge Ureka winning her 16 to 20 month class then going on to be sashed Junior Champion Female.

The next stop for this stud will be to attend the inaugural Eidsvold Simmental & Fleckvieh Bull Sale on the 31st of August to contribute three bulls to the draft of 47.

Other studs in attendance will be Wondenia-Denmire Fleckvieh, Herlo Park Simmental, Three Moon Fleckvieh, Tennysonvale Simmental Fleckviehs, Silver Linings Simmental, Sweetholme Simmental.
