Steward Janet Brownlee said it was particularly pleasing when dog show entry numbers were generally declining.<\/p>\n<p>Horse entries were also up with strong entries in the pony club ring and topsy ring for learners. There was an impressive display of harness horses on the oval after the competition, from a miniature up to a percheron cross who\u2019d already turned heads on the way to the show.<\/p>\n<p>Rose Latimer and Stephen Holgate drove the six kilometres from Carlsruhe to the showgrounds by horse and buggy with the eight-year-old Patrick pulling their 1890s Abbott Buggy through the main street of town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got a lot of people pulling out their phones quickly to take photos which was lovely, and we\u2019ve had a few pats along the way,\u201d Ms Latimer said. \u201cIt\u2019s a working vehicle, it\u2019s not a show vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cattle display was also a chance to get up close with at least 200 children coming up to pat the heifer and as many patting the quiet bull.<\/p>\n<p>Sapphire Halliday from Mount Macedon\u2019s Waterford Charolais said the competition to guess the bull\u2019s weight was popular with suggestions including the equivalent of two turkeys, or three horses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was really nice to have some of the parents teaching their children about boys and girls, explaining the difference between a bull, a heifer and a calf, and talking about where milk comes from when the calf was drinking,\u201d Ms Halliday said.<\/p>\n<p>Stud sheep were on show in the MB O\u2019Sullivan pavilion for the first time on the Friday night, along with a stunning display of fleece, before competition on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a dedicated alpaca display with a mother and her cria (baby) also attracting a lot of attention, while Farmer Darryl\u2019s animal nursery was busy all day.<\/p>\n<p>Kyneton Poultry Club president Graham Smith said the quality of birds on display was very good and the variety of birds on show was excellent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a few birds we had not had before. I don\u2019t think I have ever seen a cream crested leg bar which is very rare; we had an American game bird and two campine hens, which are a Spanish breed,\u201d Mr Smith said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want people to come in and know there are different birds and there\u2019s a lot more than just isa browns and commercial breeds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Kiera Buzza, 16, and her young team demonstrated an impressive range of tricks with an entertaining story about whip cracking as well as free lessons on the Friday night while there was plenty of competition to see who could stay on the bucking bull the longest.<\/p>\n<p>Laser tag in the hay bales was popular again this year as were the utes on show on the oval before a big crowd filled the grandstand and the displayed in front of the grandstand before the impressive fireworks display on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>The 160th Kyneton Show will be on November 20 and 21 next year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4226\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4226\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4226\" src=\"https:\/\/www.midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Evie-Website-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Evie-Website-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/centralvic.com\/midlandexpress.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Evie-Website.jpg 675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4226\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evie was among the hundreds of children getting creative in the art and craft tent.
