Judge Peter Falls said he was impresssed by how the Australian Limousin industry had embraced change since Limousins first arrived as a breed in Australia in the mid-'70s and they had been adapted to Australian conditions due to fine cattle breeding.
He was impressed by the female entrants and the Best Exhibit showed thickness, smoothness with a beautiful udder and a calf equal to her in quality.
Breeder and exhibitor Peter Kylstra, Progress Limousins, Yanco, said he was over the moon to win Best Limousin Exhibit and he wanted to return to Sydney Royal this year to show that winning last year's Urquhart Trophy was not a fluke.
Mr Kylstra has been breeding and showcasing cattle for over 30 years, and has judged cattle at both local and international shows.
