'Terraweena Burger', 2007 National Grand Champion Buck

Although Terraweena is very much a commercially based company with its focus on growing the meat goat and goat meat industry, worldwide, we very much recognise the importance of maintaining a high profile in terms of quality of stock.  For that reason we ensure that we attend the Australian National Boer Goat Championships and State Championships on an annual basis to allow expert judges to assess our animals when competing with Australia's best.

From another viewpoint, attending the main shows is not only a highly challenging exercise, but is also a deeply fulfilling experience as we unite with other breeders in showcasing these wonderful animals for the world to see.   Serious breeders all achieve the same adrenalin rush in a showring with their finest animals on display and an independent world expert ranking them, professionally and indisputably, into their assigned positions.

Since the commencement of what is now called the Australian National Championships, Terraweena has exhibited at all but one of the eleven National Championships which have taken place in Australia, the first one being in 1997.

Terraweena prides itself on being the most decorated stud overall to have attended the Australian National Championships.

'Red Ochre' The only Boer Goat in Australian history to win Supreme Exhibit in three consecutive years.

Throughout the eleven years that it has been held,

Terraweena has been awarded: 

    7 Supreme Exhibits

    8 Grand Champion Does

    3 Grand Champion Bucks

    6 Senior Champion Does

    3 Junior Champion Does

    4 Junior Champion Bucks

    2 Reserve Senior Champion Does

    2 Reserve Junior Champion Bucks

   Most Successful Exhibitor on numerous occasions

Terraweena consistently wins Most Successful Exhibitor at State level.  In 2007 Terraweena elected to take no does whatsoever and only take two young bucks to the State Championships in a bid to maintain a lower profile and support emerging quality from other studs.

'Princess'. The first doe ever to win consecutive Supreme Exhibits.

Although our achievements at State level should not be diminished by our national record, it is the National Championships that provides a country wide comparison and the international flavour of top South African judges leaves no room for doubt.  A broad ribbon is a broad ribbon, awarded to the best animal on the day and it brooks no argument.

Terraweena's philosophy is not to rest on its laurels.  Many other studs have excellent quality animals too which is so beneficial to our industry as it hones the edge of competition and incentivises next year's breeding policies.  It is our firm belief that every stud benefits from the cutting edge of the National Championships. Whether parading ones own animals or merely attending as an onlooker,  it is the only certain way of ensuring an up to date and informed status in our ever-improving and progressive industry.
