A special night with our Sapphire team. 🏆

We’re proud to have been named Feedlot of the Year at BeefEx 2026 in the over 15,000-head category, and it was great to celebrate with the people who made it happen.

To our Sapphire team, thank you. Your commitment to the cattle in our care, from first light to the last job of the day, reflects the standards we work to uphold. This achievement is the result of your dedication.

To our customers, suppliers and contractors, thank you for your ongoing support and the strong relationships we share.

Congratulations to Waggaba and Cadelga feedlots on their category wins, and to all the finalists and award recipients. Thank you to the judges for their time, and to ALFA and NFAS for recognising the work of feedlots across the industry.

Here’s to our team, and to what’s next.

Before the sun has fully risen, Smithfield is already coming to life. 🌅🐮

While most of the world is still waking up, our team is already caring for the cattle and setting the day in motion. From the first tasks of the morning through to everything that follows, every person plays an important role in producing high-quality beef.

It’s hands-on work that takes commitment, teamwork and pride - qualities our people bring to every day.

A few highlights from BeefEx 2026 on the Gold Coast.

Three days of connecting with people across the grain fed beef industry, sharing ideas, learning from others and celebrating the people and businesses that make our industry what it is.

And a pretty special moment for the Smithfield Cattle Company team — Sapphire Feedlot was named Australian Feedlot of the Year in the Above 15,000 Head category. 🏆

A great recognition of the people and commitment behind Sapphire every day.

Today our team hosted a BBQ for , taking a well-earned break to share morning tea and check in with one another. In an industry built on early starts, long days and looking after the cattle in our care, it’s just as important to look after the people beside us. A conversation can make a real difference, so don’t wait for R U OK Day to ask, listen and stay connected 💛

A pretty special one for Mark Buttsworth and BRANCHVALE METAL ALLOY.

They take out the RPL & Smithfield Cattle Co Tom Strachan Memorial Aggregate, rewarding the highest cutout aggregate across the three rounds of the Open.

Along with the title comes $5,000 and the Tom Strachan Memorial bronze, presented by Ned Strachan.

Mark’s words after the presentation probably said it best. Tom was a special mate, and this one meant plenty.

Yesterday at Sapphire, the team came together to celebrate Philippine Independence Day, honouring the strength, resilience, and vibrant spirit of the Filipino people.

At Smithfield and Sapphire, we are incredibly fortunate to have such hardworking Filipino team members as part of our family. They bring not only exceptional skill and dedication, but also warmth, joy, and a strong sense of community to everything they do 🇵🇭❤️
