30th Year of Beef Week

Stock & Land Beef Week, now in its 30th year, will run from Wednesday January 27 to Wednesday February 3 involving 150 properties in south-east Australia with 30 breeds on display.

According to Beef Week director Geoff Phillips, the event provides a critical service to the beef cattle industry by showcasing the genetics seedstock producers have available and providing commercial producers with the opportunity of selecting from some of the nation’s leading seedstock herds. “Unfortunately, many field days and shows were forced to cancel in 2020 but Beef Week will go ahead with Coronavirus safe guards observed by participation studs,” he said. “South-east Australia is home for many of the nation’s foremost herds in the British and European breeds and during Beef Week they either sell bulls or have bulls on display that will be auctioned at upcoming autumn onproperty or multi-vendor sales.

Beef Week opens with Day 1 in the western

Riverina and works south then east through Victoria ending with Day 8 in the eastern Riverina.

Over 5000 bulls will be on display and studmasters will be available to answer queries and give advice.
