25TH ANNIVERSARY ANNUAL SHOW 2016
In 2016 the Society was excited to hold its 25th Anniversary Annual National Highland Show.
On 2nd April 2016, AHCS breeders showcased their best Highland cattle at the Ballarat Showgrounds in Victoria. Judge William "Willie" Christie was flown in from New Zealand to appraise the cattle on display. At the time of judging the 2016 AHCS National Show, Willie was running his Skeoch Highland Fold near Ashburton on the South Island of New Zealand, although prior to 1997 he resided in Scotland, where he was the stockman at Benmore Fold, one of the most prestigious Scottish Highland folds.
Junior breeder, Ashlyn Hastie of Delhaig Highlands, took out Supreme Highland Exhibit for the second year running with her black cow Skye Keir of Delhaig.
