Judges Dean Taylor of Scone and Tyson Will of Delungra said the heifer was the most complete animal in the ring.
“We might be looking into a crystal ball in regards to this heifer but we both think she will become an outstanding Murray Grey female,” Mr Will said.
“The moment she entered the ring you knew you were looking at something very special.”
The heifer, Glenliam Farm Beroleanne, was exhibited by the Williams River Cattle Company of Clarence Town.
She is a daughter of Wallawong Rip Snorter and took home the Allan and Joan Ball Memorial Trophy.
Before taking out the supreme title, the Beroleanne had won the junior championship in what the judges described as outstanding line-up of heifers.
The junior champion interbreed bull was another Murray Grey exhibit the 15-month-old Rouchelle King of Hearts. Excited by the Richards family, Rouchel. The bull was a son of Rouchelle Yuppie.
Berdihold Limousins from Lochinvar picked up the senior interbreed female ribbon with their four-year-old cow Ulstr Gold Class shown with a heifer calf at foot.
The stud also exhibited the interbreed pair of heifers and the group of three.
Senior interbreed bull was JP Krypton from the JP Red Angus stud, Singleton.
The annual Allan Ball beef cattle junior judging and paraders competition was a hit on day one of the 2016 Maitland Show.
Despite oppressive heat the youngsters performed exceedingly well and so did their cattle.
Brisbane Waters Secondary College exhibited both the champion and reserve champion trade steers with their two Limousin steers.
The champion steer was bred by Les Alcorn, Greenacres Limousin stud, Quirindi and the runner-up came from a cow bred by Len and Val Tomkins.
In the junior judging section, Gloucester’s Georgia Laurie was awarded grand champion ribbon. Over judge on the day was Tyson Will from Delungra.
