Berry Showground was a hive of activity on Sunday for the annual show, where the next generation of cattle show men and women strutted their stuff.

The event for handlers 25 years and under and for heifers two years and under again attracted good fields with the youngest handler being a two-year-old, Mitchell Chittick, of Gerringong.

The event encourages young handlers to get more time in and experience the show ring and also highlights the current crop of heifers heading into the local show season early in the new year.

Rocky Allen, from Cobargo was the judge and he had some tough classes to adjudicate on.
