2007 Landfall Angus Youth National Roundup, Glen Innes, NSW

If the results at the recent 2007 Landfall Angus Youth National Roundup are any indication, the future of the Australian beef industry is in good hands. Leading this charge was New South Wales which took out all the major awards.

The roundup was held from January 11 to 14 at the Glen Innes Showground. The event was originally scheduled to be held at Armidale, NSW but had to be moved after a severe hailstorm just before Christmas caused major damage to that city's Livestock Exhibition Centre.

Just over 120 young beef enthusiasts aged between 8 and 25 from around Australia – as well as one participant from New Zealand - attended the roundup, participating in interactive beef industry sessions as well as junior judging and parading competitions.

The Landfall Angus Youth National Roundup attracted 140 head of cattle, including steers as well as Red Angus. The Special Dinner Dance held on Saturday night was attended by 230 people, and provided a night of great entertainment from the one man band.

Angus Youth member and roundup coordinator Eliza Redden said she hoped the roundup would make participants ‘more excited and interested about pursuing a career in the beef industry'. Ms Redden also said she thought the roundup provided a valuable opportunity to young people interested in the beef industry.

“It's a really important opportunity for a young person to improve their skills and network with not only other young people, but beef industry people of all ages.”

The 2007 Landfall Angus Youth National Roundup Organizing Committee would like to thank all of our sponsors for helping us again run a very successful event under extraordinary circumstances.
