Today was a full day of stud beef cattle judging in the main arena. It is such a spectacle to see all the breeds out on display in the main arena for the crowds - it certainly has a fantastic atmosphere. (yes check out the main arena in the photo below - awesome stuff in the main arena - look at all the people and cattle out there!)

| 2012 Queensland Showgirl Finalists at the Stud Beef Judging |
There is some very strong competition for the top prizes and it was great to see the size of the crowds ringside. The Queensland Showgirl finalists visited each ring to learn about the breeds and talk to the exhibitors as well as a few sashing duties along the way.
It was great to see the awareness and recognition of the Showgirl competition of the people around the cattle rings today. It really is a program that helps to bring people from all walks of life and all parts of the country together.
Also got to meet some great people around the stands such as the QCAS (Qld Council of Agricultural Societies) president and his wife and the 2011 Qld Rural Ambassador and Cattle Council Rising Champion - all great advocates of agricultural shows and getting more youth involvement in our shows.
More beef judging is on tomorrow as well as the interbreed - which is the best of the best!
