Description

It had been four years since the Australian and international beef industry descended on Rockhampton, Queensland, for Beef Week. The pandemic had interrupted the biennial event. Showing cattle in the centre ring, experts of all ages in white coats and new hats lead brushed and gleaming livestock gently across the grassy stage of this pageant.
