The Nutrien Ag Solutions Stud Cattle Championship stands as a crown jewel within the triennial Beef Australia lineup, earning recognition from the seed stock sector as the pinnacle of our nation’s stud cattle accolades.

Over the course of five days, the culmination of years – and in some cases, even decades – of unwavering dedication will take Centre Ring. Our panel of esteemed judges will consider and assess more than 1,500 entries from over 30 breeds, offering a comprehensive showcase of the best in the industry.

Expect nothing less than a closely fought contest, as proud owners compete to secure the prestigious Beef Australia broad ribbon. It’s a spirited pursuit of excellence that resonates with every participant, each vying for a spot in the spotlight and the recognition they truly deserve.
