Angus and Angus influenced cattle have once again demonstrated their market demand and versatility with a dominant performance in the 2020 RNA Paddock to Palate competition.
The three-phased competition, comprising best aggregate weight gain, carcase competition and an MSA eating quality competition, provides producers with the opportunity to benchmark their cattle against the best of the best in a commercially relevant environment.
The success of Angus and Angus influenced cattle in this competition goes to prove why Angus cattle are Australia’s cattle and why commercial breeders across the country are snapping up Angus genetics for their breeding programs.
