At the Brisbane Show last week,here are the results.
Interbreed Pair. Charolais from the Palgrove Stud
Interbreed Bull. Angus (Sire;CS Future Direction)
second. Charolais
third. Santa Gertrudis

Interbreed Female. Charolais
second. Shorthorn
third. Limousin
The Angus bull weighed 1260 kgs
He is a class bull who looks like he will go onto win all the top Royal Show accolades this year. He's off to Melbourne Royal next month,has now won Brisbane and won at Sydney earlier this year. He was also champion at the Beef Expo in Victoria earlier this year. His eye muscle area was 146 square centimetres which is excellent. Usually Limmos,Blondes Euro breeds score like that and sometimes South Devons too.
Champion lead steer on the hoof was a Charolais,he sold for $27 a kilogram made $12,096.
The butcher will be selling that steer for a long time now.

Don't forget that Shorthorns took out the RNA 100 day grain fed carcase comp. Champion carcass was awarded to Morgan's of "The Grove" Condamine, Qld.

The Grove Shorthorns also took out the Champion pen in the carcass judging, 27 points clear of second place in the competition of 20 pens of 6 steers.

A son of Shadybrook Scotty 83K (imp Can.) took out the baby bull class, under 12 months, with an EMA of 90sq. cm, the second highest EMA of the junior bulls. Not bad for a calf!

A half-brother to the Ekka's Grand Champion steer in 2003 was judged the Grand Champion Junior schools steer. Pictured is the Limousin-Shorthorn 11 month-old calf which weighed 420 kg after 85 days on grain.

How were the Murray Greys up there? I will hopefully be heading up there next year with some Square Meaters. I was always told the hoof n hook competitions here were nothing compared to Brisbane--but I just about choked on my coffee when I read the $27/kg in the paper. Nice steer. Also liked the shorthorn cow.
 
I'm not sure how the Greys went. However results can be found at : http://www.ekka.com.au/home/competition_results.asp?snav=184

Shorthorn cow was Spry's Awesome Patsy X104, pictured below with The Grove Ninja in the Interbreed. I believe the cow is coming to Adelaide, so it will be interesting to see how she sizes up against our cattle!

Just thought I'd mention we got 2 2nds and 2 3rds. And I worked a little bit with the fella that won small breeds interbreed female.
 
I would sure like to see the class Champions in all breeds. Is there a web site with pics? Perhaps the Show photographer site? Something? If those Shorthorns are any indication of the quality of livestock.... I would love to see the breeds as they supposed to look. Ahhh memories.
 
you would be pleasantly surprized with the quality of Australian livestock in every breed. Most show cattle are not just show cattle they are bred to go out and do the job.I was saddened to hear after a friend of mine went to the US and returned and said that he had seen bulls there that they were selling semen from,locked up in pens. They had structural faults and could hardly walk. This is not what beef breeding is all about.You would probablyfind that the winners at Brisbane would win anywhere in the world irrespective of the breed.

Same here, the animals that won certainly deserved it for performance in and out of the ring although I was a bit shocked that Steve Hayward's Advance Liberty Y73 didn't do aswell as many people thought she would.

Different judge, different day. There's no denying that most of the cattle on display at the Ekka were top quality. We were a bit disappointed with our bull- he came 4th in a strong class, Jason said he was the most structurally correct bull in the class but he was just a bit bigger than the cattle he was going for that day. But on a different day with another judge, that bull could have easily won. That's showing!
 
I agree again Killala, I know that's true cause one one day we got third and on another day we got Grand Champion. Just depends on what the judge is looking for. All of the cattle were certainly of top quality and I was really impressed by the Charbray's this year, although there was a small number of them they had one of the best representations.
