Competition Overview

Entries are now open for our Prime Beef Competition, which will take place at the new location of Silverdale Saleyards in August.

The competition classes include grain and pasture-fed and Japanese chiller trade, with more than $12,000 in prize money up for grabs.

Cattle are to be delivered on Wednesday 5 August and will be weighed on arrival. Judging and the sale will take place the following day on Thursday 6 August. All winners and the sale will be live-streamed.

We would like to thank Hayes and Co for supporting this year's competition, following the cancellation of the 2020 Ekka due to the COVID-19 social distancing measures and public gathering restrictions.

Prime beef is a popular competition in the beef category. Several categories are judged including single classes, pen of three, pen of six, carcass competitions, young auctioneers competition and more!
