Red Rock Farm at the 2026 National Show — Sunshine, Success & a Semi Full of Highlands

Written By Tanika Butler

The 2026 National Show in Bathurst was one of those weeks we’ll be talking about for years — not just because of the results, but because of the adventure that got us there. This year, Red Rock Farm teamed up with Sea Crest Highland Cattle and Blasta Mhor Highland Cattle, loading a semi‑trailer full of Highlands and hitting the road for one of the biggest events on the calendar.

Sunshine for Show Day

Bathurst delivered perfect weather (for Highland Cows!) Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were drenched in sunshine, giving the Highlands their moment to shine. Their coats looked incredible in the ring, and the crowds were out in full force.

Our Junior Team Shines

This year we welcomed two junior helpers, Bronte and Will, who joined Lincoln and Isla in the ring. Their enthusiasm, teamwork, and willingness to step up made the weekend even more special. Watching young handlers grow in confidence is one of the best parts of showing — and they were outstanding.
