<\/a>This year there were 38 participants & 38 cattle.\u00a0 Participants are divided into groups from beginners to the more experienced.\u00a0 It has great support through sponsorship as well as \u2018hands on\u2019 support from breeders and other experts in the industry.\u00a0 This camp is ideal for students to attend independently of their teacher support.\u00a0 Cattle health, show presentation & clipping, judging, & many other skills for showing, judging and looking after cattle are taught.\u00a0 This year UNE Agricultural School ran a popular segment on meat quality and assessment where meat cuts & taste tests were shown and students from the UNE School of Health provided information on good health.\u00a0 We aim to have a similar thing with UNE next year.\u00a0 Participants range in age from 8yo to adults & are divided into groups according to experience.\u00a0 Many awards are on offer at the camp but the most sort after are\u00a0the herdsman, most improved and\u00a0encouragement awards. At the camp we also have the member award who will receive a show box full of show gear and the opportunity to be the youth ambassador, the only requirement is that you must be a member.\u00a0 For further information phone:\u00a0 Rachel Hancock on 0432 581 493, Tim Light on 0458 744 552 or Briony Looker on 0488 527 949<\/span><\/p>\n Red Poll National Youth Committee<\/strong> \u2013This Committee is a very active group with members ranging in age from 18 \u2013 35 years.\u00a0 Although the Committee is still in its formative stage it expects to have a strong influence in shaping the development of the Red Poll Breed as well as having a significant role in the show scene .For further information phone:\u00a0 Rachel Hancock on 0432 581 493 or Briony Looker on 0488 527 949.<\/span><\/p>\n Red Poll World Congress<\/strong> \u2013 Every 3 years the Red Poll breed has a World Congress.\u00a0 The Red Poll breed is a small but closely knit group worldwide & it\u2019s a great opportunity to share our friendships & cultures through Red Poll cattle.\u00a0 The tour includes a Conference with Guest Speakers from various sectors of the Industry followed by reports from delegates from their respective countries.\u00a0 The Breed also uses the opportunity to plan globally for the future.\u00a0 The next Red Poll World Tour is in the USA next year. It\u2019s very well priced as the tour is planned by local Red Poll breeders although a Tour Operator is employed to run it. \u00a0For 25 days with most meals, all accommodation, travel & entry fees etc, it\u2019s approximately $5,000 double or $4500 triple. I can thoroughly recommend this Tour to anyone although minors would need to be accompanied by an adult.\u00a0 As the last Tour was in Australia the Red Poll breed sponsored an Australian Youth Ambassador to attend.\u00a0 Jamaica & Kenya also sponsored Youth Ambassadors.\u00a0 Unfortunately our breed is not equipped to provide this kind of sponsorship for every World Congress but it does offer sponsorships where it can.\u00a0 Please contact me at: <\/span>eurimbla@live.com.au<\/a> if you would like me to email the Itinerary & Costs.<\/span><\/p>\n Royal Shows<\/strong>.<\/u> –\u00a0 If there\u2019s one breed that is always present at Royal Shows its Red Polls.\u00a0 Many Red Poll Exhibitors have been showing for years & would only be too happy to mentor any interested student.\u00a0 The best way to learn anything is by doing it & what better way than having an experienced mentor to help.\u00a0 Red Poll Exhibitors are always at Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide & Perth Royals & often at Canberra.\u00a0 Also many regional shows so either look out for us in the Red Poll section of the cattle shed or give us a call at home before the show starts.<\/p>\n S.A. Heifer Competition<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The Red Poll breed offers a scholarship for this camp that includes airfares, entry fee & accommodation.\u00a0 This camp is well supported by the Red Poll Breeders of S.A., in particular Richard Daley from the Moyle Park Red Poll stud who usually provides a heifer for the participant.\u00a0 Although this camp is for 8 y.o. \u2013 25 y.o., Richard suggests it\u2019s for the more experienced handler. Participants would need to be old enough to stay at the showground under their own supervision or be accompanied by a parent.\u00a0 A four month Study Tour to North America is the ultimate prize so participants return year after year to improve their skills<\/span>.\u00a0 For more information about the scholarship for the event, please contact our Executive Officer, Keryn Hutton on 02 6773 3059<\/span><\/p>\n The Australian Red Poll Cattle Breeders Inc. is very pleased to be able to support our breeders of the future.\u00a0\u00a0 Scholarships and mentoring are a great way to experience and learn about the industry.\u00a0 We\u2019re also aware of Government & Industry grants and would be happy to offer our support for relevant projects to the breed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n We are delighted and proud to have so many schools in NSW affiliated with the Red Poll breed.\u00a0 We hope to provide the support and encouragement needed to make your experience with the Red Poll breed an enjoyable one.\u00a0 Please contact me anytime on:\u00a0 0488 661 585.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Kind regards,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Jill Coghlan,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n President, NSW Branch ARPCB Inc.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/redpoll.frogthumbs.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/AnnaliseAbbot_1.jpg\")
