Strong competition among Dairy Cattle

As steward of the dairy section, Anthony relied on his family and handlers, mainly from Deniliquin High School - where he is a teacher - to showcase his entries.

His guidance with the dairy team at Deni High is one of the reasons the handlers and junior judging section of the dairy cattle section remains as strong as it is today.
