Sydney Royal Beef Challenge Success 

Proving again, that there is an ‘Angus for every system’, the results from the 2024 Sydney Royal Beef Challenge highlight the diversity of Angus and Angus influenced cattle. 

The 70 day domestic and 100 day export classes, the competition assesses all aspects of production from arrival through to slaughter, including:   

  • Feedlot performance – assessing both Average Daily Gain, Feed Intake and Dressing Percentage    
  • Market Grid Compliance – with each team assessed to meet a defined optimum target for domestic and export categories    
  • Profitability  
  • Carcass Assessment – Fat specifications, Meat Yield, and Eating Quality    
  • Eating Quality – MSA Index    
  • Live Assessment and Daily Weight Gain
