Judge: Aaron Eaton, NY, USA
Junior Champion
The final heifer class of the Red & White young cattle show belonged entirely to Raphael Cornelis Hoogerheide of Carambeí, who brought the only two entries in the division.
Champion — RCH JANNY 2955 ALTITUDE RED TE
Reserve — RCH MALHADA 2944 ALTITUDE RED
Exhibitor & Breeder (both): Raphael Cornelis Hoogerheide, Carambeí, PR
Both are homebred Altitude-Red daughters, closing out a sire’s run that also produced the Novilha Menor champion, the Bezerra Sênior reserve and the Bezerra Júnior reserve — the most broadly represented bull across the older divisions at Castro.
The class capped a comprehensive day for Hoogerheide: Junior Champion Female, all three championship podium spots, the National Young Female Group, and Best Exhibitor of the young cattle show with 2,698 points against 1,400 for runner-up Agropecuária Salomons.
