IT’s a job that often goes unseen, but choosing the best cattle for the Pryde’s Easifeed Warwick Gold Cup Campdraft is no easy feat. Add in organising transport for over 4000 of Australia’s finest beef cattle, and it’s a big job.
Three men that aren’t afraid to take on this job are committee members Kal Bruyn, Ben Cory and Luke Keogh.
Pryde’s Easifeed Warwick Campdraft cattle chairman Kal Bruyn said while the event wasn’t until 24-30 October, work was already underway to make the event a success.
‘’This job is done with a team of volunteers young and old that take pride in keeping the cattle’s welfare as first priority,” he said.
“All cattle are provided with quality feed and water for the entire duration of their time at the Campdraft and low stress stock handling is enforced to ensure the very best environment for the cattle to perform in.
“I can also announce that the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society have received a grant to put shade cloth in the back third of the cut out yard to ensure that cattle are standing in shade whenever possible. Another upgrade is a modern drafting facility generously supplied by Thompson Longhorn for a smoother and more efficient operation.
“With cattle donors supplying cattle from Queensland and New South Wales while struggling with the tough seasons, it really highlights the dedication that cattle donors have for helping us run the biggest Campdraft in Australia” Mr Bruyn said.
The Warwick Show and Rodeo Society look forward to announcing this year’s cattle donors once they have been confirmed and are keen for yet another successful Pryde’s Easifeed Warwick Gold Cup Campdraft.
