2019 National Limousin Junior Show results wrap and photos

Despite being only 10 years old, Jack Robson from Flemington Limousins at Adelong proved he has natural talent with cattle when he defeated competitors up to 15 years his senior.

Supreme exhibit and the highest individual point score were among the awards Mr Robson took home, but one of the biggest highlights was when he secured the prestigious Bill Tooth Memorial trophy for grand champion parader.

The win made him the first and only ever peewee to take the top gong. Judge of the handlers section, Sam Hunter, AgStock Pty Ltd, said it was Mr Robson's impressive skill set for his age that won him the top title.

"It was his ability at such a young age," Mr Hunter said.

"He had a lot of control over the heifer and knew how to present her to make her look her best.

"He went about the job without fuss, but had a spark about him and made me keep looking at his heifer."

Mr Robson who notched up only his third Limousin National Junior Show, also had success in previous handlers competitions, being named the peewee champion at the 2019 Angus Youth National Roundup at Armidale in January, and the peewee champion of the 2018 Charolais Youth Stampede last July.

His major win in paraders followed on from a very successful day, where his nine-month-old heifer calf took out supreme exhibit of the event.

Flemington Unreal P69 lived up to her name according to judge Tim Lord from KO Angus, Kangaloon, who awarded her calf champion before taking her all the way as his supreme.

Sired by Cottage Lake Big Star and from Flemington Xcel Unreal J8, she may make her way to Sydney Royal Show next year.

Mr Robson was also the champion pee wee junior judge and reserve pee wee herdsperson, before being named the highest point score individual of the entire event.

Also coming from team Flemington was the grand champion herdsperson, Clayton Ray, who was the reserve senior champion parader and the winner of the clipping competition.
