2022 Royal Melbourne Show – Australian Lowline Feature

October 7, 2022

Congratulations to the 14 exhibitors who presented 50 perfect examples of the Australian Lowline breed at the recent Royal Melbourne Show where Australian Lowlines were the Feature Breed.

Special thanks to the SRPG, helpers, exhibitors, handlers and attendees who all made the day very special. It was fantastic to have the judging live-streamed all over the world – thanks to ALCA for funding the Livestream.

People enjoyed Certified Lowline Beef at the RASV Exhibitors BBQ supplied by Hyland Estate Premium Meats, funded by ALCA and SRPG and catered for by SRPG volunteers. After judging, a breed dinner was held attended by exhibitors, ALCA members and friends where delicious Lowline beef from Paddock To Table Butchery was served and auctions of donated goods and services took place.
The Livestream Royal Rumble Auction held the following afternoon was for a limited number of elite cattle from various breeds and the prices achieved were well deserved. The top-priced Australian Lowline was Cann Valley Lady Sia (Cann Valley stud) who sold for $11,000 and a heifer donated by Whitby Farm, Whitby Farm Cherub, brought a $10,000 donation for the Black Dog Institute for mental illness.
