Angus for Paddock to Palate
It was a case of déjà vu at the announcement of the overall winners for the RNA Paddock to Palate competition as Angus and Angus influenced genetics took out each of the eating quality awards along with other major awards.
Off the back of the first round results for weight Angus, Angus cross and Angus Influenced cattle achieved solid results across all facets of the competition
The competition objectively measures the performance of pens of 100 day export and 70 day trade on weight gain performance in the feedlot, carcase attributes in the chiller, commercial value and meat eating quality judged by a panel of expert chefs.
