Around the grounds at IDW

Chelsea Schutz, 11, from Joanna in South Australia, was dwarfed by the Holstein heifer in the clipping competition at International Dairy Week. She is the daughter of Belinda and Glen Schutz and was the youngest in the South Australian team.

There was plenty of colour and movement as always at International Dairy Week in Tatura last month, and Dairy News Australia was there to capture it.

In the youth judging competition at International Dairy Week was Tess Newman from Prospect Hill.
