The next generation of future farmers demonstrated their skills during the annual Christmas show and sale at Norwich Livestock Market.
The event attracted a high-quality turnout in the sales ring - and some impressive performances from the young handlers.
The overall cattle champion trophy was presented to a "superb" pair of nine-month-old Red Limousin heifers from GF Cole and Son of Banham, which sold for £1,080 to Cook and Colman.
In the calves section, the championship was awarded to CW Potter with a British Blue bull which went on to sell for £425 to Dennis Wilson.
And Alburgh Lamb won the overall sheep trophy with the best pair of lambs over 40kg, bought for £260 by the judge, Mike Keeler.
But there was also some tough competition in the young handlers classes, with 11-year-old Arun Denny, from Denton, crowned overall champion and the reserve prize going to Rosie Criddle, who won the 8-10 age group.
Other winners included Evie Hubbard in the 6-8 age group, and Sam Chantry won the under-fives.
The winners' rosettes and trophies were presented by the Lord Mayor of Norwich, Dr Kevin Maguire, and the Sherrif of Norwich, Caroline Jarrold.
Market chairman Stephen Lutkin said he was encouraged by the strength of the competition among the young handlers.
"It is good to see the youngsters interested in the farming side," he said.
"Farming is often regarded as an older-generation thing and if you come to the market you might expect to see a more mature generation.
"But because Norwich market is held on a Saturday, we find we get a lot of youngsters, which is great to see. If you don't have the youngsters, you don't have a future.
"So it is good to see this competition supported with lots of youngsters taking part.
"With the cost of living and food miles, it is important that the younger generation can see we need to produce our food locally."
