Courtney Palmer, Cassilis Campdraft Treasurer thanked everyone who supported the Cassilis campdraft community over the weekend.

“We couldn’t have done it without the help of cattle donors, sponsors, ground crew, the list goes on,” Ms Palmer said.

“A special thanks goes to Wallings Pastoral Co and Betrola Investments who kept out livestock well feed over the weekend also to Tom Carrigan for safely carting our precious cargo back and forth over the weekend,” she said.
