Brady Hore has achieved his goal of winning the Royal Melbourne Dairy Show Youth Classic.
The 15-year-old from the Elmar Holstein stud at Leitchville won by exhibiting a jersey heifer from the Philmar Dairy Company, Miami Grayson Melba.
The heifer was just over 12 months old and her dam was Miami Djmay Melba.
Brady said his family’s stud and Philmar often worked together at shows, which allowed him to maximise his development levels.
“The heifer was no stranger to the show ring, having won the junior reserve champion at the recent Finley Show,” he said. “From here she’ll be most likely be shown at International Dairy Week.”
Brady said the best part about being involved in the Classic was having the opportunity to meet other kids.
“We don’t have a huge agriculture focus at my school, so going to shows and meeting like-minded kids is really beneficial.”
