Cattle
Entries Close: 17 February 2025
Convenor: Darryl King
With a history as rich as the land around us, our cattle competitions were introduced around the 45-year mark of our Show, but their roots are traced back to the mid-1800s, when cattle exhibitors were part of bazaars and fairs.
Today, our 15 classes showcase the finest breeds, each judged on their potential for correct breeding standards. Judges observe the animals on their individual traits compared to that of the others, looking for varying markers such as their conformation and muscle development.
The Junior Handler classes are the gateway for the next generation of cattle breeders to craft their knowledge and skill base.
