Commercial Cattle Championship
The Nutrien Ag Solutions Commercial Cattle Championship is a permanent fixture on Beef Australia’s calendar of events where Australian commercial cattlemen and cattlewomen compete for a chance to have their cattle awarded the best in the country.
The Championship aims to ensure Australia’s beef industry remains productive and profitable by selecting judges with comprehensive knowledge on current market specifications, relevant to market drivers and modern production parameters.
The Championship also features a Young Commercial Judges Competition where competitors across four different age categories, starting at Under 10 years running through to Under 18 Years, are required to judge four pens on conformation, muscling, market suitability, and evenness of the pen. Points are awarded for the order in which these pens are placed. The top five in each age category will be selected to comment on the pens judged.
All cattle entered into the Nutrien Ag Solutions Commercial Cattle Championship are then sold at auction, attracting livestock buyers and industry participants from around the country. The sale is free to attend and open to everyone.
Beef 2024’s Nutrien Ag Solutions Commercial Cattle Championship saw 1,685 head of commercial cattle sold for a gross of $3.994 million, surpassing the gross of just over $3.6m achieved in 2021. Steers averaged $2,464 per head and heifers averaged $1,970 per head.
