Last year we entered 3 Feeder Carcase Trials – RNA Paddock to Palate (EKKA) Qld, Colin & Say/Bindaree Competition and RAS Beef Challenge.
We were absolutely thrilled to win the highly coveted Class 40 – 100 Day HGP Free at the 2025 RNA Paddock to Palate Competition for 2025. It was the largest class in the history of the event, and with just one pen entered, to come out on top against the very best in the industry and take home the prestigious Arthur and Kath Bassingthwaighte AO Trophy was truly unforgettable. We have placed in this event every year and coming 2nd twice we finally made it with one pen!
Sharing such a special night with our children Rosie, Will, and Lachie – and with Marcos, Hughie, and Tex by our side – made the celebrations even more meaningful. While the accolades are rewarding, the real value lies in the data and benchmarking against all breeds and crosses – the toughest competition in the country. For over a decade, we’ve submitted this carcase data into Angus Australia’s database, and today our EBVs reflect the true, proven performance of our cattle.
Perhaps our proudest achievement at the RNA is the consistency we’ve shown over the last five years. To repeatedly record the highest and second – highest marbling scores in the competition.
