NATS Judges
Introducing Mr Gary Willows our International Judge from South Africa.
Born and raised on an Angora farm in the Grahamstown area of the Eastern Cape, my passion for Angora goats and mohair was ignited at a very young age. I completed my schooling at Graeme College, Grahamstown, in 1989 and thereafter undertook my compulsory military service, choosing to sign on for an additional year in order to fund my studies at Grootfontein Agricultural College. There, I specialised in small stock production and was honoured to be awarded Top Mohair and Angora Goat Student on completion of my two-year diploma.
I began my professional career in 1994 with Cape Mohair and Wool as one of the youngest Technical Field Advisors at the time. In 1997, I completed my Senior Angora Judges Course and continued working with CMW until the company was acquired by OVK. In 2019, I joined House of Fibre, a new company established in collaboration with BKB, and it remains a great privilege to currently represent both organisations.
Over the years, I have judged numerous National Flock Competitions in South Africa and Lesotho, as well as many agricultural shows throughout South Africa. I have also been actively involved in presenting Mohair Schools across the country and contributing to training and upliftment programmes in collaboration with Mohair South Africa.
I am extremely honoured and genuinely excited to have the opportunity to visit Australia and to judge the National Show. It is a privilege to be part of such a respected international platform and to engage with the Australian mohair and Angora industry.
Morgan Mrowka has been appointed as the Senior Associate Judge for NATS 2026
I began in Year 5 at West Wyalong High School, showing Angoras for Willow Glen Angoras. Through my schooling years I was a dedicated member of the show team, learning the trade of showing and judging angoras.
Once school ended, I began teaching Agriculture in the central west and continued to stay involved within the industry. Since leaving teaching, I have now taken on a trade as an electrician but I can’t seem to stay away from goats!
Throughout 2019 and 2020, I was involved in the Boer Goat Breeders Association as a board member and now have dipped my toes into the boer industry alongside the Angora and Mohair industry.
I had the privilege of associate judging the NATS in 2018, and Sydney Royal Easter Show in 2022, amongst a range of other smaller shows.
I am now the breed captain and announcer of the Angora and Mohair section of the Easter show.
