Ag students attend Beef Week at Wingham

Students from both campuses of Brisbane Water Secondary College's Cattle Club have attended the Wingham Beef Week.

Acting Umina campus principal Mr Adam Montgomery said it was a successful excursion for the school's Agriculture course students.

The event gave students and producers an opportunity to participate in live assessment, carcass assessment and evaluation, meat judging, beef appreciation workshops, parading and other competitions, he said.

The event aimed to educate at ground level the next generation of future beef enthusiasts in a hands-on environment to increase their knowledge and exposure to the Australian beef industry through education and competition.

The week was coordinated by the Wingham Regional Show Society and runs annually from May 13 to 17.
