The Fuller family from Pine Creek stud, Cowra, have won the Hordern Trophy for Supreme Beef Breed Championship for the Angus breed.

Pine Creek exhibited both the grand champion female and grand champion bull in the Angus judging, a pair that went on to beat 20 other breeds for the prestigious Hordern win.

Hordern judge Erica Halliday, Ben Nevis Angus, Walcha, said the pair had no imperfections.

“That is an extraordinary calf on that female, incredible softness in the coat and skin of that female, incredible presence in that bull,” she said.

The bull, PC Kodiak 5R H130, weighing 1164 kilograms, had already been awarded the Urquhart Trophy for Supreme Beef Exhibit by different judges, but Ms Halliday agreed, and said it was the impressive sire that got the team over the line.

As well as the Urquhart and Hordern trophies, Pine Creek’s champion pair also teamed up with the stud’s champion interbreed heifer to win the Gordon Fuller Memorial Trophy for the Breeders Group Interbreed team.
