THEY say ‘the show ain’t over until it’s over,’ and the King Island Show isn’t over until the beef and lamb on-the-hook competition is judged and won.
James Hill was delighted with his Show Day on-the-hoof wins, with his Herefords winning Grand Champion and Reserve Champion.
His Black Angus carcass was awarded first prize in the on-the-hook competition judged by Greenham’s quality inspector Taylor Flint at the Multi-Species abattoir.
Jackie and Andrew Walker were equally chuffed with their lamb, also winning Champion on the hoof at the Show and first prize on-the-hook at Thursday’s judging.
“I would like to acknowledge Robbie Payne,” James said.
“The win is 100 per cent Payne genetics. I’m a Hereford man, but this Angus is the son of a Black Pearl.”
Some of the winning beast and Worm Watson’s third place getter will be put in the dry-ageing cabinet and if you are after a taste of prize-winning beef, it is available from this week in the King Island Meat Providore in Currie.
