Steering a path to Lowline success

Emma Germany speaks her mind

Anyone who I gave a chocolate eclair to at Sydney this year... You PROMISED steers for Sydney 2009. Please start thinking NOW about what you have that you could enter and let me know if you want some preparation help.

ALLAMBIE, KOBBLEVALE, VITULUS and TRUNGLY Studs all entered steers in the 2008 Sydney Royal Show. Out of about 20 entries in the lightweight class the Allambie, Vitulus and Trungley pure-bred steers all placed in the Top Six of their Carcase Class.
The Kobblevale Steer came second in the virtual Taste Test!!!!
Watch for the photos in the 2009 Journal!!!

STUD CATTLE AREN'T ANY GOOD TO ANYONE
IF THEY DON'T PRODUCE TOP QUALITY BEEF.
SINCE WE KNOW THEY CAN AND DO
GET YOUR LOWLINE STEERS INTO PREPARATION NOW.

If you don't show it .... they won't know it.
