Katie Anderson, 17, and Renee Anderson, 15, of the Sun Vale Holstein stud at Yarroweyah, near Cobram, claimed a swag of broadribbons during the All Breeds Elite Dairy Heifer Show and the handler competition.
The pair nabbed supreme champion heifer with their entry Bluechip Toffee's Apple-RC, a March 2014-drop entry they had purchased from Dean and Di Malcolm, Bluechip Genetics, Zeerust, in January.
The pair were thrilled with the feat and said the heifer was from an extraordinary cow family.
"We really liked her family … she is also by Aftershock, which is a great bull," Katie said.
She is the granddaughter of KHW Regiment Apple-Red-ET which sold for $US 1 million.
Her mother Bluechip Toffee Apple was sold privately by owners, Dean and Di Malcolm, of Bluechip Genetics, Zeerust, for $80,000.
