A Clean Sweep at EKKA for Cann Valley & Rotherwood Studs!
What an unforgettable debut for Cann Valley and Rotherwood Studs at EKKA — taking out all champion and reserve titles, along with both Interbreed crowns.
It was our first time exhibiting at EKKA, and the experience exceeded every expectation.
Our results:
Junior Champion Heifer – Cann Valley Venus Moon
Reserve Junior Champion Heifer – Cann Valley Vendeta
Junior Champion Bull – Cann Valley Velocity
Reserve Junior Champion Bull – Cann Valley Volcanic Eruption (R)
Senior & Grand Champion Female – Cann Valley Super Moon
Reserve Senior Champion Female – Rotherwood Sapphire Girl
Senior & Grand Champion Bull – Cann Valley Sir Ulysses
Reserve Senior Champion Bull – Rotherwood Top Shelf On Ice
** Most Sucessful Australian Lowline Exhibitor **
We were then absolutely thrilled when Cann Valley Super Moon and Cann Valley Sir Ulysses went on to win both Interbreed titles — a particularly proud moment, especially knowing that it’s been 13 years since a Lowline female has claimed an Interbreed win!
A special highlight was exhibiting Dexter female Carragheen Up’N Coming, who was awarded Junior & Grand Champion Female in her ring — another proud moment for our team.
This success would not be possible without the incredible people behind the scenes.
First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you to my Aunt Vicki for her unwavering support and mentorship. Her continued success with her own cattle, and the strength of the Rotherwood genetics within our herd, play a huge part in what we've achieved.
To the “A Team” this week — what a crew! Just three of us managing 13 head, and you both tackled it with professionalism and heart. Carlie and Harrison, your dedication, work ethic, and calm under pressure were nothing short of inspiring. I’m incredibly grateful to have had you both alongside me.
To Aisy, thank you for keeping us fed during the week and for your set of extra hands wherever needed! It was certainly greatly appreciated.
To Mia and Daniel, who flew up especially to help with fitting and prep — thank you. Your expertise and attention to detail ensured the cattle looked the best they ever have on show day. Your support meant the world.
Lastly, thank you EKKA for a fantastic event. It’s been a pleasure to meet fellow exhibitors, share stories, and enjoy the camaraderie of the show. We hope to be back again soon!
