Tycolah Jovial F77, bred and exhibited by the Steve and Theresa Crowley and son
Ben, Barraba, NSW, was senior and grand champion Poll Hereford bull and supreme
champion Poll Hereford exhibit. He then went on to defeat the grand champion bulls
from all other breeds and then had to overcome the supreme champion all breeds
beef female.
For the first time Sydney Royal utilised a panel of three judges to select the
interbreed winners. The panel comprised Anthony Coates, Eidsvold, Queensland, and
brothers Ted and James Laurie, Gloucester, New South Wales.
A jubilant Steve Crowley said it was his ‘biggest win in 36 years exhibiting at Sydney
Royal’ and said Jovial would now go on to the 2012 Dubbo National Poll Hereford
Show and Sale in June.
Jovial is not new to major awards. Last year at Sydney Royal as a nine months old
calf he was junior and grand champion Poll Hereford bull.
Jovial’s sire, Karina Cherry Z8, continues to churn out champions. His progeny have
been supreme champion Poll Hereford exhibits and won the sire’s progeny group
and best pair of bulls awards at each of the past three Sydney Royals.
