Tim,
your comment is probably correct, however I enjoy the event every 3 years, drink some rum, tell a lot of lies, catch up on people I only see every 3 years. Some go fishing, I go to Beef Week.
Cheers,
Dan
Cannot believe the comments from Tim Mc Hugh.
People come from all over Australia and indeed the world to see and experience this event.
So much to see and do. The benefits are just enormous.
Who is judging Auslines and Bramalow if allowed in.
Hello Debbie. We’re told that Mathew Welsh will be judging the Auslines. Bramalows are not being exhibited in the stud competition – Editor.
Who is judging Herefords at beef week? And why did you leave them out?
I did to now asap.and there are unhappy polly and Herefords breeders unhappily you left them out off this article. That have made the numbers for you to have a show.
Thank you.
Hello Tobias. We’re endeavouring to find out from the Beef 2015 event organisers why there was no Hereford judge mentioned, and will report back to readers. Editor
Tim McHugh: You can’t be serious!!!
I learned more valuable information for my cattle business in 3 or 4 hours at different seminars and workshops at Beef 2012 than I did in years. There’s a lot more going on in Rocky than just a cattle competition. Take the time to have a look around.
I need to know the benefits of Beef Week ? 🙁 Great social get together !
But of no monetary benefit to the graziers ! Obviously someone is making money out of Beef Week , but it is not the graziers of Australia 🙁
Who is judging Herefords ? Not shown
