Showing Angus Cattle

The exhibition of Angus cattle at shows provides the opportunity for breeders to compare the physical attributes of their cattle and display them to a wide audience. The major displays of Angus are at Sydney and Melbourne Royal shows where the breed regularly wins major interbreed awards.
