The Forbes livestock agent at Kevin Miller Whitty Lennon and Co will head to the national final at Launceston later in the year.
He's no stranger to being on the national stage after taking out the national beef paraders final at Perth, WA, in 2019.
On his grand champion awarding, Mr Parish said it was "amazing."
Mr Parish has been showing cattle since entering his first heifer show at the all breeds national show in Dubbo when he was five years-old.
"I've shown at nearly every single royal show in Australia," he said.
Mr Parish won the final over reserve champion Paige Hatton from Bathurst.
Third place went to James Gilmour, Inverell, Lillian Oke, Bathurst, finished fourth and Lily Moore, Bathurst, was awarded fifth.
There were 26 entrants representing their groups in the state final under the eye of overjudge Anne Starr, Guyra.
Entrants judged Limousin heifers, Brahman heifers and Speckle Park bulls and shortlisted competitors gave their oral comments for the bulls.
As the winner, Mr Parish was awarded $500 supported by the RAS for a study tour of his choice, and the Clive Reynolds Annual Memorial plaque.
