Macquarie Anglican Grammar School Cattle Show Team teacher Brook Taylor said the students effort was a result of long hours, hard work and dedication.

"It's a big thing for a school to be able to offer its students opportunities to present at shows across various locations," Mrs Taylor said.

"It teaches them teamwork, leadership and communication skills and enables them to form powerful connections with elite people within the industry. It takes a lot of dedication from the students. It's a high level of expectation and it's long hours."

The students spend multiple hours after school working on their heifers.
