Exhibiting at the Show
Saturday sees the spotlight shift to beef cattle judging, which kicks-off at 8.30am with the European breeds. The British Breeds competition follows. The Paraders and the Junior Steer Pointscore Competitions enable younger participants to get involved with classes for participants of all ages.
The beef cattle section draws to a close with the Trade Hoof Competition that is open to steers & heifers, which will later be sold at auction.
Just like the dairy cattle, the beef cattle judging takes place on the Cattle Lawn next to the Poultry Pavilion.
It is a requirement in NSW for owners of livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats and pigs to have a Property Identification Code (PIC) when trading or moving these livestock.
A PIC is a unique eight-character number assigned by Local Land Services to properties with livestock. This property registration system allows for the tracing of livestock to assist with disease and chemical residue management.
To obtain a PIC you must complete an application form and lodge it with your Local Land Services office.
