This year celebrates 26 years for the Malanda Beef Cattle Handling & Judging School in North Qld, where the future of the industry get hands-on experience to build their cattle handling skills and industry knowledge.
From humble beginnings in Cairns in 2000, the event moved in 2001 to Malanda, up on the Atherton Tablelands surrounded by waterfalls, rainforests, rolling hills and red mud.
Speakers included Dr Ryan Cochrem, TLC Fitting Service, Malanda Beef Plan Group and Byrnes Meats.
A great opportunity to catch up with CA members and beef lovers to discuss the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Cattle Australia is calling for direct government action to secure fuel supplies for regional areas. CA Chair Garry Edwards told Sky News that we need to ensure supply remains available right through to winter.
We know this issue is affecting many of our members, and we will continue advocating on your behalf by calling on leaders to pull every lever available now.
If your property or business is running short of fuel, please let us know by completing the form on the CA website.

A wonderful day at the @bennevisangus Mature Dispersal Sale, with our Southern Extension Officer Sam Martin on the ground connecting with producers and buyers.
There’s a strong sense of optimism about the future of the beef industry, but it’s clear there are also real challenges currently facing producers across the sector. Conversations like these are critical to ensuring those challenges are heard and addressed.

There’s no better way to spend the school holidays than the annual Springsure Cattle Camp!
