BEEF BOOM MEANS A BIG BEEF WEEK
The 31st annual Stock & Land Beef Week promises to be the best ever with eager cashedup stud and commercial breeders searching for herd improving genetics.
Over 7000 bulls from 140 studs representing 30 breeds will be on display over the eight day event which runs from January 27 to February 3, 2022 in Victoria, the Riverina and the south-east of South Australia.
These sale bulls will gross a staggering $70 million during Beef Week and at on-property and multi-vendor offerings following Beef Week.
Many of the nation’s leading British and European breed studs will be open during Beef Week and will have their sale catalogues available and have sale bulls penned and identified for potential buyers.
Nutrien stud stock agent Peter Godbolt said potential buyers could use Beef Week to assess sale bulls at many studs at their own pace and return on sale day or bid online.
The Nutrien team see Beef Week as an opportunity to assess bulls from numerous studs and advise clients where they can find bulls to suit their operations.
“Whether you are a vendor or a buyer, our agents can assist with all transactions and offer valuable advice”, he said.
From 2022 Nutrien will partner with Beef Week as a sponsor and can facilitate transactions and provide advice on the best moves a buyer can make to ensure they obtain the best possible outcome for their management systems and target markets.
Other sponsors of Beef Week in 2022 are animal health giant Boehringer Ingelheim, animal nutrition specialists Rivalea and Australian Community Media, publishers of Stock & Land.
Stock & Land Beef Week is conducted by the not-for-profit body Stud Beef Victoria which repre-sents all breeds in the state via a sub-committee.
Beef Week has avoided shut-downs and postponements during the pandemic and participants are aware they have to adhere to safety regulations stipulated by authorities. The fact that Beef Week is an open air event has assisted in avoiding much of the risk.
The 84 page 2022 Beef Week book was an insert in Stock & Land on January 6 and a flip pages version will be available at www.beefweek.com.au from that same date. Each of the host properties will have supplies of the book which contains maps and a description of what will be available for viewing an each of the studs.
Stock & Land Beef Week is widely recognised as the largest event of its type in Australia and possibly the world.
You are invited to any of the 140 properties open over eight days when cattle carrying the world’s leading beef cattle genetics will be on display. Travel safely. Geoff Phillips, Stock & Land Beef Week director.
