The Noorat Show confirmed its status as the biggest rural show in south-west Victoria with about 10,000 people attending the popular event on November 15, with some of the region’s best dairy cows on display.
There were 128 entries for the dairy competition, along with about 60 for the beef events.
Dairy entrants competed in Holstein, Jersey and interbreed events and the future of the industry looks assured with strong entries in the children’s calf competition and junior judging and parading.
