Led by Kyleigh Cochrane, Reg Cochrane Pastoral, Pyree, Kevindale Zeus Rosina-ET won its over 6 years, in milk class before catching the eye of judge Ben Govett, Dingee, VIC, to take out senior champion and best udder.
Sired by Red Brae Prelude Zeus-M and from Hillside Valiant Rosina, the cow noticed for her tremendous udder capacity is currently producing 35 litres of milk per day.
At seven years old and on its fourth calf, Mr Govett noted the mature cows quality attachments which shot her above the rest in the judging ring.
She is just a beautiful dairy cow - she was best udder because I really love the strength and openness of the cow, Mr Govett said.
She has lovely angularity throughout and walked on a good set of feet and legs, he said.
