The Incitec Pivot 2019 Royal Melbourne Angus Feature Show is now underway, with the centenary celebrations taking place from the 22nd – 29th of September.
The Victorian State Committee will be hosting a plethora of events over the course of the show, with the purebred Angus steer competition, Angus Youth Program, an elite female auction, a special celebration dinner and of course the Angus judging.
The event will also be associated with the Black Dog Ride. It’s the 10th anniversary of the Black Dog Ride and the ninth year since cattle producers from the South West of Western Australia, Peter and Judy Milton, have supported the Ride. Since 2010 the Milton’s have sold a total of 13 cattle at auction throughout Australia and have donated more than $100,000 to the charity, which works to raise awareness for depression and suicide prevention in rural and remote communities, particularly amongst producers.
This year the Golding family, Little Meadows Angus stud, Dardanup, WA, have offering a charity heifer, Little Meadows Wilcoola P7 (ET) (AI), who will be up for auction at the Feature Show Auction at the conclusion of the Angus judging on Sunday, September 29, at the finish of female judging, prior to bull judging at approximately 12 noon EST.
