Hoof Judging Results 2026

The hoof judging for the 3rd Annual Inverell Feedlot Trial & Carcass Competition was a great success, with the line-up of cattle a credit to all involved.

Those attending had the opportunity to view the teams of steers and heifers before their induction into Myola Feedlot, while enjoying a coffee and BBQ breakfast.

A big thank you to our judge, Georgia Mewburn from StockLive, for her time and comments throughout the morning.

We also thank our valued sponsors IRLX, Coopers, Allflex, Neogen, Taylor’s Livestock & Heavy Haulage, Beeftrans, Stocktrans and FEDC for their continued support.

We look forward to following the cattle throughout the remainder of the competition.
