Including Reserve Junior Champion Female RAS 2006 as a 13 month old heifer, Reserve Champion female in Brisbane twice 2007 & 2008 plus Grand Champion Female RAS 2008. Mograni Benji and Mograni Crusader in his first show outing finished 3rd and 2nd in their respective classes. Devons were well represented at this years EKKA with a great representation of the breed.

Mograni also exhibited a Devon steer at the EKKA although not placing on hoof, he placed near the top of the class on the hook. A great deal was learnt and will be better for the experience in 2009.

Mograni Devons has entered a team of 4 for the 2008 "Ekka" Brisbane show. This year we have also entered a steer in the led steer competition.

In May another Barnstaple female was added to the Mograni herd, Barnstaple Plum was selected from a good line  of devon females at the Barnstaple autum female sale.

Mograni Benji B18 was placed 2nd in the 16 to 20 month junior bull class behind the evential junior champion bull.

Mograni Devons would like to congratulate all fellow exibitors in was a great display of devon cattle.

Mograni Devons exhibited a team of 5 head at this years Gloucster Show.

The Wingham Devon Feature Show attracted 8 exhibitors, with the Devons having the largest number of cattle accross all breeds. Great to see a good display of cattle on the coast again. The four broad ribbons on offer were won by four different exhibitors, which further highlights the quality of cattle that were on display.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all fellow Devon Breeders and their families.

Mograni received its best rain in 20 years when 119mm fell over the valley from the 19th to 21st, which should now see a great start to the spring. With a promising forecast for the coming months we can now be optimistic about the seasons ahead.
