Numurkah Showgrounds. The Calf Show offered the opportunity for juniors to learn
and build on their animal handling and show skills with a strong emphasis on
participation. Some juniors were not from farms and the day gave them the
chance to experience the industry. Participants and animal entries from
several breeds were among the entrants. Full details can be found
