Sydney Royal 2017
Year 10 student Cooper Carter was presented with the prestigious Shorthorn Champion of the World award 2016 at the RAS cattle dinner at Sydney Royal. Cooper who owns 'Cooper Shorthorns' won the award with his 2016 Sydney Royal Champion Bull Coopers BJS Ace In The Hole. Congratulations on an amazing achievement.
Yanco Agricultural High School has performed well in the Carcase section of the Steer results. A school bred Limousin steer scored 90 points and won the Middle weight school section class and the virtual taste testing. Four of the nine steers won medals with two silvers and two bronze. A silver went to a Limousin Steer donated by Margaret Pierce and a Shorthorn Steer from Blackjack Shorthorns and one from Dromore Shorthorns took out the Bronze awards. At the carcase presentation Yanco Ag was also awarded the Herdsman Competition award, placing first out of all the Schools that competed. This award is given based of the display, promotion, knowledge and the presentation of the animals. All students who were a part of the team should be extremely proud of their efforts throughout the week
