Beef Expo took place on the 23rd - 24th May at the showground. It's mainly a tradeshow for businesses with most of the Cattle Society stands showing off their finest cattle and the latest trade equipment and support organisations represented.
On the first day of the show there were organised farm tours. We had some great friends staying at the house and we went to the show together. They thought that both of the tours were they good and different. After the tour there was a Native Cattle show. I am very pleased to say that a lovely Longhorn heifer weighing 598Kg from Mr & Mrs G Woollatt won the Native Heifer section and went on to win the overall Native champion. The reserve Native champion was the second place heifer from Mr Michael Read with his Lincoln Red called Hemingby Treasure coming in at 574Kg. The first place steer cam from RH & SM Grace with a great Lincoln Red called Blisland Bruiser.
The second day was a much bigger occasion consisting of 14 classes. There was a lot of great looking cattle. I also saw cattle from Canada. Wow!!!
Here are all the winners from the classes and what they weighed:
3.1. Heifer by a registered Limousin sire Mr D Hughes coming in at 491Kg. This lovely heifer became Champion Continental Heifer. Well done.
