The Australian Miniature Hereford Breeders Network Inc., held a Virtual Cattle Show for Miniature Herefords via the internet in June, 2011. The results for that show can be seen here . Because the show was a great success AMHBN has decided to hold another one this year.

Details of the Virtual Cattle Show for Miniature Herefords 2012 can be seen here

The AMHBN is an incorporated society fully recognised by HAL (Herefords Australia Ltd) and thinks this would be a good way to showcase stock as well as promote the breeding of Miniature Herefords. This is especially the case for those who live too far away from any show centres or have no means of getting to one.
