The event's sponsor is Glencore Australia.
The day is designed to educate students on different aspects of the beef industry with the aim to provide avenues for students to gain more knowledge which they can apply to their school beef cattle programs.
The schools have Primary industries and agricultural studies within the school curriculum and this day will help to assist the teachers and students to gain finer details regarding the selection of cattle for different programs that the schools may have.
On this day there be workshops for the students to participate in and be informed by industry representatives on the selection of beef cattle, in a practical environment.
Some of the workshops will be understanding how the Junior Judging System works and giving the students more confidence with their decisions.
In addition there will be a workshop on the selection of Heifers, Bulls and Steers - what to look for when selecting cattle for different programs that the schools may have or the students may have on their family farms. There will be a butcher giving a presentation and there will be a workshop on seeds and pastures.
There are also two heifers being offered for two schools to win and use as part of their schools Agricultural programs.
Students from 6 - 18 years of age and attending school are eligible to attend.
The Beef cattle industry is in safe hands with the Next Generation coming through the School System learning and having a deeper understanding about the importance of this industry in Australia and beyond.
