Amy travelled to the UK after completing a Certificate IV in Agriculture at Tocal Agricultural College in 2014.

Amy travelled extensively throughout the UK and was able to visit and help out with farming practices at many different farms. One of the many highlights was when she was invited to assist in the judging of beef cattle at a UK show. Amy explains this unexpected experience as follows: “Back home in Australia, my participation in agricultural shows began at high school, where our agriculture class selected, broke in to lead and prepared and exhibited beef animals for show. This led on to judging beef cattle, which I have practised as an associate at local shows. Having spoken with Clive about my interest in the show scene and how I want to further my experience in judging, he unexpectedly organised for me to be an associate judge at the Three Counties!”
