The Cattlemen’s Challenge Field Day will be held at Paringa Feedlot on Friday 19th May 2023.
Paringa Feelot is at 2534 Retro Corry Road.
The Field Day is an opportunity to view the competing steers, socialise with like-minded cattle growers, and listen to interesting industry presentations.
The Field Day begins at 8.30am with the steers penned in their individual lots. Anyone interested is welcome to inspect the steers at this time.
Those who have steers entered in the Cattlemen’s Challenge will be making their selections for their carcass steer and pen of 3 for the Clermont Show. Forms will be available on the day.)
Presentations this year include:
- Elsie Dodd, QAAFI, UQ, explaining Genomic Breeding Values (GBVs) and their relevance to commercial producers.
- Georgia Dale, Black Box Co, showing how their company can assist with analysing data collected on individual animals to inform performance and make more profitable decisions.
The DAF Beef Extension discussion will address Using Data to Inform Decision Making / Steer Performance this Year.
A Field Day wouldn’t be complete without a BBQ Lunch, and we’d like to thank Top Paddock Consulting for sponsoring the BBQ this year.
The day will conclude with a wrap-up back at the yards, where the exhibitors will reveal their Carcass Steer selections.
