About the CH Carcase Competition

The competition is aligned with the Beef Australia format, with entries received in pens of three cattle in two classes. Exhibitors have the opportunity to co-enter the Beef Australia 2024 National Carcase Competition by completing an additional entry form. Details of the grass-finished class specifications and entry forms can be found here

The hoof section will be run at the Circular Head Show on Saturday 2 December 2023, after which entries will be transported to Greenham to be grazed and fed ad-lib silage for 30 days to comply with MSA requirements, and processed in early January 2024. This year's hoof judge is Dayna Grey, who is a third-generation local carcase competition judge, as the daughter of Lyndon Grey who judged in 2016, and granddaughter of Dale Grey, who judged in 2000.

Competition entries will be judged under MSA criteria, which measures saleable meat yield, market specifications, and importantly, eating quality. Care will be taken to ensure MSA compliance.

Bonus carcase points may be awarded for the consistency of weight, fat distribution, lean meat yield, and eating quality score of the three cattle in each entry.

Entry is $10/animal

Entries close Fri 24 Nov 2023. Download your entry form here
