Tori is now chasing the Tri-Series buckle and will be heading to the Winton Show this Friday. We wish her the very best of luck!

We would also like to wish all of our CTSDE Cattle Club competitors the best of luck as they compete at the Northern Beef Producers' Expo this Thursday afternoon at the Dalrymple Saleyards in Charters Towers. Go CTSDE! 👏🐂
