The boys have been in preparation for a few months now, honing their skills across quite a few shows including Nathalia, Shepparton, Kyabram, Rochester and Elmore.
This is the first year Harry will head out into the big ring, while Dusty will have to wait a bit longer, although he will participate in the fancy dress section with his much loved calf Baby June.

Mum Alicia said Dusty has been diagnosed with ADHD and having Baby June to care for has been a game changer.
“He just loves animals and he has poured his heart into Baby June — she is bomb proof and looks so tired all the time because Dusty is always working and playing with her,” she said.
Harry has had to change calves and he will be working with Grand Dream Ghostly Lovelies.
The grown ups won’t be missing out either, with the family expecting to take six animals to IDW – one Brown Swiss, four Jerseys and a Red Holstein.
