Rounding up a cracking four days in Wodonga
The NH Foods Australia Angus Youth National Roundup was four days of fun, learning and all things cattle when over 100 participants gathered at the Wodonga Showgrounds on October 6th to 9th.
Coming together for the first time since 2020, Angus Youth members from almost all states took part in the event which saw the cumulation of two and a half years of work from the Roundup Organising committee come to fruition with an excellent event filled with not only the traditional Roundup activities, but also some new additions to the program.
Roundup kicked off on Thursday with the how to’s when it comes to washing and drying, leading and parading workshops and parading practice, the tried-and-true Barnyard Olympics and a cooking demonstration from celebrity chef Fast Ed thanks to Verified Black Angus Beef brand, Angus Reserve.
The following days were of blur of activity, with education sessions from various experts in the industry, the Chute to Showring Competition, Junior Judging, cattle classes, with the Roundup concluding on Sunday with the paraders classes and final presentations.
Outside of the shed, the Special Dinner Dance once again proved a fantastically successful event, with over $20,000 raised for the Angus Youth program with funds going towards the continued development of initiatives that support youth development and education to benefit the Australian beef industry.
A big thank you goes out to the committee, the sponsors, the cattle providers, the volunteers and the parents, without the support they give the Roundup would not be able to take place and of course to the participants, who are the future of the beef industry, thank you for joining Angus Australia for this fun filled, educational event.
