Alice Hall
TAS State Representative 

This year the Tasmanian Angus committee gave scholarships to three young people to attend the Round-up and represent Tasmania. All up seven Tasmanians attended the RU this year, these were, Thomas and Rachel Stewart, Kym Rogers, Riley and Toby Hall, Courtney Hardstaff and myself. Everyone performed well in both the junior judging and the junior handlers. I was lucky enough to be placed Reserve Champion Intermediate junior judge.

Tasmania have recently had three angus cattle sales, those being Antu Angus, Quarter-way Angus and Dunlop Park Angus, all three were successful sales. Tasmanian breeders are confident that the trend will continue for the
remaining stud sales.

I am currently in the process of forming a Tasmanian Angus Youth committee. I am confident of
achieving this successfully.
