Congratulations to Roy & Dorothy Laverty from Big Ben Bazadais at Taylors Arm, Mid North Coast NSW.

Roy & Dorothy exhibited 2 steers at Wingham Beef Week, which attracted mainly school entries from as far as Inverell and Scone and many schools in between. In a field of 9 middle weight steers Big Ben scored 1^st and 3^rd in carcase section. The steers were both 75% Bazadais, 25% Angus.  The winning steer was just 15 months old. It was very rewarding to see Bazadais make its mark. 3 yrs ago Big Ben also gained 1^st & 3^rd in the same competition with Bazadais cross steers. Official Results Certificate
