Year 7 Student Stephanie Bolte and Year 9 Student Sammie Considine recently attended the 2022 South East Cattle Handling Workshop with excellent results. The day was a hands-on learning experience where the girls handled cattle, were shown washing, drying and clipping techniques, steer selection, judging including discussions around the structure of the cattle and ringcraft etiquette. The day also included a very informative careers talk offered by a panel of industry experts, offering their insights into careers in the agriculture industry.

Both girls came together to combine their talent of cattle judging, and after applying their expert eye and speaking about their findings, the girls judging was found to be on-par with that of the main cattle judge and were therefore declared the winners of the School Trophy for Cattle Judging, out of 60 students across 7 schools! This was an excellent effort, also being the only two representatives for Tenison Woods College.

The girls have their sights set on a Stud Beef Handlers Camp in Geelong next year, as well as continuing to show their cattle at local shows.

Congratulations Stephanie and Sammie!
