South Burnett competitors have cleaned up at the Brisbane Exhibition, especially in the hotly contested Prime Beef competition.<\/p>\n

Midge Thompson, from Aussie Land & Livestock in Kingaroy, told southburnett.com.au he was very happy with his success, and the success of several of his clients.<\/p>\n

Midge won the highly prized Champion carcase ribbon in the Coles Supermarkets Carcase Competition.<\/p>\n

“This competition is very, very competitive and it’s very hard to win,” he said.<\/p>\n

“A lot of the guys have been entering all their lives, while we’re relatively new to the game.”<\/p>\n

Midge, who is the Chief Steward of the Prime Trade section at the Kingaroy Show, said he had learned a lot about cattle assessment and evaluation, both live and carcase, from Max Lucht and Terry Nolan during his six years at the Wide Bay Feedlot at Cinnabar.<\/p>\n

“They were second to none,” he said.<\/p>\n

Also in the Coles Supermarkets Carcase Competition, AL&L clients\u00a0Kevin Temperton, from Coolabunia, came first in “Class 34 – Pen of three pasture-fed or grain-fed steers and\/or heifers”\u00a0with a pen of Angus cross, and\u00a0Grahame and Ellen Kroll, of Nanango, picked up a third, also with a pen of Angus cross.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of Kevin’s beasts then went on to win\u00a0Class 34\u00a0Reserve Champion.<\/p>\n

All these animals were finished on grain for 100 days at the KJAL Feedlot at Cushnie.<\/p>\n

This is just the second time that Kevin has entered the Ekka competitions. Last year one of his live calves came second in Class 20 (Single Steer – 360kg to 480kg), and his hook entries secured a 10th in the Woolies’ competition and a sixth in the Coles’ contest, so he is very happy with his success this year.<\/p>\n

Other South Burnett winners at the Ekka included the Crawford family, of Mannuem, who came first in “Class 35 – Pen of three grain-fed steers and\/or heifers”\u00a0with a pen of limousin cross, one of which then went on to be named Class 35 Reserve Champion in the Woolworths MSA-Value Based Marketing Competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Thompson brothers, Midge and Reg, also picked up a second in the Jap Ox “Class 36 – Pen of six pasture-fed steers”\u00a0with a pen of charbray bullocks.<\/p>\n

In the IGA Pen of Three Competition, Murray and Bronwyn Lord, from ‘Rhodesleigh’ at Dangore Mountain, were placed second in “Class 23 – Pen of three steers or heifers 360kg-420kg” with a pen of charolais cross. These were purchased by Prime Time Meats, Eli Waters, Hervey Bay, for $2.48\/kg live weight.<\/p>\n

In the Led Steers Woolworths’ Premier Carcase Competition,\u00a0Hillsborough Limousins, of Wondai, (Graeme Wicks) came second in “Class 3A – Led Steers (376kg-400kg)”. Hillsborough also scored a third in Led Steer carcase Class 4B (401kg-430kg).<\/p>\n
