You have to start somewhere, and the recent Shepparton Show in Victoria was an opportunity for some young cattle handlers to head out into the ring.

A bit of wrestling going on as the girls try to get their heifers in order for judging.

Their animals were clipped, trimmed and cleaned for the big debut, and their were smiles all round as the future of the dairy industry demonstrated there handling skills.

Hello heifer ... Hunter Collins, 3, with heifer Lollipop, getting ready to parade at the youth competition. Hunter is the son of Chris and Jackie Collins from Merrigum. His foray into show parading was successful with a placing deserving of a ribbon.

The all-breeds youth show attracted a range of entries from across the region, and entrants were as young as three.

Henry MacDonald from Numurkah was practising for weeks for the big event.
