2010 Perth Royal Show - Steer Results

Reserve grand champion and champion heavyweight Gelbvieh-Murray Grey cross - 470kg, 7mm P8 fat		Champion lightweight steer - Gelbvieh-Murray Grey cross 372kg, 4mm P8 fat Sold for $5100 or $13.70/kg to Princi Meats. Believed to be a record price for Perth Royal Show trade sale.

Summit Gelbvieh representative Alexandra Riggall and daughter Olivia visit Princi Butchers in Fremantle to see how the $5100 top price steer of the 2010 Perth Royal Show hung up. Holding the top price carcase is Joe Princi who said that he was pleased with the yield of the steer and the quality of the meat. “In the past we have missed out on getting the best animal at the show and we were happy that this year we were able to get it,” he said. “We mostly sell lightweight or young cattle and this steer fitted the bill because he was well-shaped, soft and wasn't too heavy on frame score.”

Earlier in the year, the Pugh family also had the honour of selling the very first pen ever at the grand opening of the $55,000,000 Muchea Livestock Centre. The pen of 12 Gelbvieh composite steers had been grainfed for 100 days at the Pugh family's 10,000 head Nebru Plains Feedlot in Three Springs. The steers were sold for an impressive 411c/kg which equated to $1702 per head based on the pen average of 427kg. Successfully bidding on the line of steers was Acciari Butchers, Osborne Park, with proprietor Lino Acciari saying that the steers were pure quality and were exactly the type of animals he wants in his shop. “They were an excellent shape and were extremely well finished,” he said. “Soft, high yielding cattle and exactly the type of animal we want in our shop.”

Willow was sired by Black n Stacked and was described by judge Leon Giglia as faultess. "She exemplifies everything you would look for in a beef female. She was the most structurally correct female in the line-up and is clean through the head and shoulders with no waste. "This heifer has a capacious body and would make an ideal replacement female in any herd."
