🥩Champion Virtual Taste Test- Trade🥩

We’re incredibly proud to share that our steer was named Champion Trade Steer in the Virtual Taste Test at the Royal Sydney Easter Show 🏆

At just 8 months old, this outstanding animal was a ¾ Shorthorn × Angus, highlighting the true power and performance of strategic crossbreeding.

This achievement reinforces what we’re striving for in our program — producing cattle that deliver from paddock to plate.

🔥 Bulls are now available for private sale 🔥
