Dear Members
Simmental Australia have a trade stand in the Exhibition Hall, site E13, with Felicity and President, Phil Partridge in attendance. On Monday from 11.30am we will have guests from ASA and IGS, Wade Shafer and Luke Bowman on site. See the info below for more information.
Each day there will be a Cattle Baron Board Game giveaway to those who sign up for a catalogue at the stand culminating in the grand draw to win of one of our 50th Anniversary Belt Buckles.
Members are more than welcome to come rest up and have a chat or even represent Simmental while chatting to the public.
Any promotional items can be dropped off at the stand and help putting into trade bags is appreciated. Promo videos will need to be sent to Felicity in time to go on external hard drive.
Drop in and see the Simmental Show Cattle are being housed in the Connor’s Pavilion.
