The Weanling Bull Show & Sale is a sight to behold, happening on Wednesday, 23rd August. The bulls, in their prime, are paraded before an eager audience, their strength and vitality on full display. The categories for this show include the Best Limousine, Best Charolais, and Best Belgium Blue. Each category is fiercely contested, with the bulls judged on their breed characteristics, health, and overall appearance. This event takes place on a Wednesday, a day dedicated solely to the bulls.
The Weanling Heifer Show & Sale, happening on Wednesday, 30th August, is a showcase of elegance and grace. The heifers, young and full of promise, are judged in the same categories as the bulls. The Best Pen of Three or More category is a particular highlight, where groups of heifers are judged together, adding an extra layer of competition and camaraderie to the event. This event is held on Wednesday, 30th August, a day set aside especially for the heifers.
The Reserve and Champion titles are the most coveted awards of each day. These titles are bestowed upon the finest animals in the show, recognising the hard work and dedication of the farmers who have raised them. The anticipation builds throughout each day, culminating in the announcement of these prestigious awards.
