The cattle section at the Crookwell show has been growing in both quantity and quality over the past 10 years with the stud cattle section exceeding 100 entries. Feedback from exhibitors is that they love coming to Crookwell, it’s a great show, run very professionally and positioned well on the calendar for the lead up to Canberra Royal and Sydney Royal shows.
In 2010 Crookwell will play host to one of only two NSW Angus Breeders Group, feature shows. This will include cattle of both the Black and Red Angus breeds, and it is anticipated that we will exceed 60 head of Angus cattle alone, from renowned studs throughout the local region and across the state.
The Angus breed has received much limelight in the past few months with the introduction of branded Angus burgers in both McDonalds and more recently Hungry Jacks restaurants and we look forward to seeing some of the best of the breed on display in Crookwell
We continue to get great support from our ongoing sponsors and this year we have also secured a number of new sponsors that we are very pleased to have working with us.
Judging of the Angus breed will begin at 3pm on the Saturday afternoon of the show (12th February on the cattle lawns). We have secured a well-known judge, Mr Corey Ireland from Wagga, who will be with us for the entire weekend in the cattle section.

2010 Feature Breed
History of the Angus in Australia
The Angus breed originated in Scotland by interbreeding groups of closely related cattle breeds native to the shires of Aberdeen, Kincardie and Angus. These breeds or strains of cattle have a long history in Scotland. Angus have also been known as Aberdeen Angus.
The first imports of Angus cattle into Australia were to Tasmania
in the 1820s and to the mainland in 1840. Angus cattle are now found in all Australian states and territories. Angus are used extensively in crossbreeding programs over Bos indicus females in northern Australia, but are more common in the southern, temperate environments.

About the RED Angus .....
Red Angus Characteristics
Red Angus cattle have all the attributes of Angus. Females are fertile and hardy females with good milking and foraging ability. They grow quickly and produce excellent carcases which marble at similar levels to Angus. They provide market flexibility and meat quality in straight bred and crossbred progeny.
Red Angus Demand
Apart from their straightbred value, red Angus have been popular in many crossbreeding situations. Crossed over cattle with red coat colour, the calves are red which helps produce even sale lines. Red Angus have been used widely with Santa Gertrudis, Droughtmaster, Brahman, Hereford and red European breed cows to breed polled cattle and increase fertility, meat quality and market flexibility.
Northern Australia pastoral giant, Australian Agricultural Company (AACo), used Red Angus to produce their "Gulf Composite". North Australian Pastoral Company (NAPCO) used Red Angus to produce their "Kyuna Composite".
