Royal accolades

Third generation Furner grazier Olivia Baker captured a key prize this month at the Royal Adelaide Show.


The teenager was named the Champion Parader and will represent South Australia next year at the national final.


Her family’s Woonallee Simmental beef cattle stud achieved outstanding results with both the steers and stud cattle.


It is run by her parents, Tom and Lizzy Baker.


With respect to steers, Woonallee exhibited the Reserve Lightweight Purebred Steer on hook as well as the highest scoring Simmental carcase.


Woonallee Muscles was exhibited by Loxton High School.


Woonallee was also the winner of the TFI trophy for best three steers on hoof and hook.


In the stud cattle section, Woonallee received blue ribbons for the Junior and Grand Champion Bull, reserve Champion heifer and Senior and Grand Champion cow and Supreme Exhibit.


The Furner stud won two sections of the Interbreed category and exhibited the champion calf.


Meanwhile, the best baker of savoury scones is a registered nurse from Nangula, south of Millicent.


Gloria Buck brought home the coveted blue ribbon from the Royal Adelaide Show.


In the scone contest, entrants were required to use the Laucke scone mix and add their own touches to create a savoury flavour.


Ms Buck also achieved third place in the Genoa fruit cake section.


She is no stranger to the podium as she has exhibited successfully in the capital city for several years.


Her late maternal aunt Dorothy Alleyn also dominated the cooking section of the Royal Adelaide Show.
