Cattle call for Kilcoy Show
Hopes are high for a strong cattle sale at the Kilcoy Show next weekend, July 26 and 27.
Final preparations for the show are in full swing, with the first section to be ready being the Prime Cattle section.
Cattle for this section start arriving next Thursday, July 25, to be classed, weighed, tagged and penned in their classes, getting ready for the judging and cattle sale on Friday 26th July.
The Cattle Committee is expecting a big boost in the upcoming sale, due to cattle prices going up, anticipating a strong turnout.
The cow market, in particular, has seen substantial improvement in recent weeks.
This section is open to all cattle owners; no-show experience is necessary.
The show offers an opportunity to show and market livestock.
Trophy donors have been very generous and excellent trophies and cash for placings in every class as per schedule.
There are new classes for pens of three in the grower and feeder steers classes, as well as replacement heifer classes. In some of these classes, you can show and sell your cattle, or only show them and take them home to their paddock.
If you have cattle you would like to put in the show, contact one of the committee members listed below.
The committee is keen for more exhibitors in all the male and female sections of the schedule.
Copies of the schedule are available on the show website, or again, contact one of the committee members’ numbers listed below.
