| 13th & 15th | Singleton Prime Stock Competition Thursday 13th and Saturday 15th September 2007 Our organisation have been organising this event for the past 20 years. This competition is for Beef producers and Schools/School Students to enter their Prime Beef cattle to be judged by an experienced Cattle Judge. On this day we also hold a Paraders Competition, this is for students to show off their parading and ring craft skills under the watchful eye of a Judge. Following the hoof judging those cattle entered in the hoof and hook sections are sent to the abattoirs, processed and then judged to assess each carcase for its quality and fit to market specifications. This event is very insightful for all students as it allows the students to compare the aspects and influence of breed, body types and feeding techniques both in the ring and on the hook. Singleton Beef & Land Management Association believes the future of farming is in the hands of young Australians. It is through participation in events such as the above that schools can foster an interest in agriculture, particularly beef cattle.
