EVER wanted to judge the Hordern Trophy at Sydney Royal?
For the first time in Royal history, The Land fitted a GoPro camera on the Hordern judge to give you a better view than ever before of the pairs in contention for one of the top titles of the show’s beef competition.

Mr Bondfield said he’d selected his final six pairs with the key profit drivers in the beef industry - including growth, weight for age and ‘doing-ability’ - front of mind.
“The seedstock industry is at the start of the beef supply chain – and the genetics from these animals have to add value all the way down the line,” Mr Bondfield said.
“To me, regardless of breed type, breed character and coat colour, these cattle are right down the line that I like to see – cattle that are industry directed and focused to all the sectors of the beef supply chain.
“It’s wonderful to see people exhibiting cattle that really have some relevance to our customer - the commercial client – and the consumer.”
