Champion pen (photo insert) went to their Angus steers by Texas Angus and another central Angus Stud out of big frame Riverina bred cows.

The Reserve Champion pen went to Pine Hill for their 8-9 month old Simmental steer calves sold through B&S. The Haling family also scooped the pool with their Charolais x Angus heifers winning first place and their Angus heifers runner up.

**Texas also scored the highest marbling score steer of 7 (2 above any other animal in the competition) only on 100 days feed!!!

Last year, we decided to test our breeding program after so many years of saying how well our cattle perform for weight for age as well as meeting market specifications on the hooks. It was gamble as Texas Angus had never in its history entered a feedlot/carcase competition. Our stud's reputation was on the line, as our purebred Angus steers were competing not only against other Angus but other purebred breeds and more importantly crossbreds from other leading commercial and seedstock operations of NSW and QLD
The steers entered were the bottom selection of their bull contemporary group and with the guided selection from Ben Hiscox, BJA, 2 pens of 100 day export steers and one pen of 70 Day domestic steers were entered. When the feedlot trial results were announced we were were elated with winning the 100 Day Export Daily Weight Gain and placing 2nd in the Domestic Daily Weight Gain against a cohort of 120 and 330 steers and heifers,respectively. We couldn't be happier to beat crossbreds for DWG that had the added advantage of hybrid vigour but when the carcase results were announced we were a little shell shocked at the success we achieved!
