What a spectacular evening we had last night at the show! A huge crowd came to see the opening of the show, with over 600 pieces of art on display. It’s been fantastic to sponsor the Local section of the show, and it was fabulous to meet this year’s winner Paul Fairweather with his 3D work ‘get to the chopper’.

What an action packed weekend it’s been in Goondiwindi with the Hell of the West. The event is not for the faint hearted and now in its 35th year, draws contestants from around Australia.

Very proud of our Sapphire athletes James Guest and Hugh Reiser competing, with Hugh winning his age category. Way to go Hugh!! FYI Hugh has been spotted getting his laps in the storage dam at Sapphire.

Once again we were proud to sponsor this amazing community event!

Investing in education today helps build a stronger lot feeding industry tomorrow, and we’re proud to be working with our local Proston State School on an exciting new project!

Throughout the year, Ag students will take part in a series of visits to the feedlot, following a pen of recently inducted cattle from induction right through to exit as their dedicated case study. At each visit, students will observe the same cattle and receive performance updates, giving them real insight into feedlot operations over time.

Along the way, they’ll also experience guided tours across our departments, learning how each area contributes to animal care, performance, and daily operations.

We’re thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with Proston State School, supporting the next generation in Ag 🌾
