Sydney Royal Cattle Show

Attracting the biggest and most beautiful beasts from across the country, the Sydney Royal Cattle Show is one of Australia’s most prestigious beef and dairy competition, with a Sydney Royal Ribbon, or Championship, not only providing immense pride for exhibitors but also contributing to increased sale prices. Comprised of the Elders Sydney Royal Beef Cattle Show, Sydney Royal Dairy Cattle Show, Sydney Royal Purebred Steer & Carcase Competition and Sydney Royal Trade Hoof & Carcase Competition, each class will be judged on specific criteria, with structure, yield, temperament, and production being common across all classes. Six breeds of dairy cattle and up to 20 breeds of beef cattle will be judged during the Show. Exhibitors travel from almost all states of Australia to exhibit their cattle, with up to 1,600 head of cattle onsite over the course of all 12 days.
