JBS Northern Division General Manager of Livestock Edwin Cooke with Ash Morgan The Grove Shorthorns Condamine

The Grove Shorthorns have held an illustrious position when it comes to the EKKA Paddock to Palate Carcase Competition. In particular Class 40 the HGP Free 100 Day Fed category. In the past 4 years (since the inception of Class 40) The Grove has taken out Champion Overall Pen three times.

The domination of The Grove in this competition over the years has showcased how versatile Shorthorns are, be it in the feed yard or the chillers the results speak for themselves.

In the 2024 feedlot performance section results The Grove took out the 40a Class for Best Weight Gain Pen of HGP Free steers with a weight gain of 2.452kg. Of particular interest to us is that sires purchased from Turanville are represented in this great result. Turanville Informer P85 (purchased 2019) has 3 steers and Turanville Crusher Q92 (purchased 2021) has 1 steer.

Congratulations to the Morgan family and best of luck in the carcase section next month.
