Steer Trial

We are very proud to announce that Lardner Park will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Steer Trial this year.

We encourage entrants to participate from around the country in the only grass-fed trial in Australia.

The steers arrive on-site in mid-June, with the program turned off in mid-November.  Compliant with the Coles QA grass-fed program, the aim is to achieve the best outcomes for both during-trial information and data collection, and purchase price on carcase meat when the trial is turned off, as a domestic grade with a specification of between 220-330kg HSCW (hot standard carcase weight).

Producers across multiple states are provided the opportunity to assess cattle under independently controlled grazing conditions.  Entrants are required, as part of the application process, to declare entered steers have not been grain-fed since birth.  Entry is by APPLICATION only - see the buttons below for all information and the link to apply.

We encourage you to keep in touch with all Lardner Park Steer Trial information, event dates, and trial data.  Compare our Trial productivity with your on-farm data.  Students are particularly encouraged to get on board – you are our future agribusiness operators!
