The Rose family brought three bulls, two heifers, one cow and a calf in from their Ridgelands estate to enter the judging and they already had a slew of ribbons to show for it early Saturday morning.

Their Danami Brahman stud took out two grand champions, a supreme champion, two reserve champions, five first places and a couple of second places after the judging started at 8am.

The Rose kids, who attend Rockhampton State High School, hope to follow in their parents' footsteps and work on the land when they finish school.

The Mount Morgan show features show horses and jumping competitions, stud cattle, carriage driving, market stalls, a sideshow alley, show bags and, of course, fairy floss.
