SOUTHERN Beef Week kicked off today and runs until August 4.
Day one featured Birubi Limousin and Lim-Flex stud, Wagga Wagga, Yavenvale Herefords and Poll Herefords, Adelong, Kanimbla Poll Herefords, Holbrook, Wirruna Poll Herefords, Holbrook, and Rennylea Angus, Culcairn.
Tomorrow, July 29, Beef Week heads north to Harden, Young and Wallendbeen.
Day one saw visitors travel from as far as New Zealand, Cooma, Bathurst, Dubbo, Narrandera, Cootamundra and local areas to inspect cattle.
Visitors were pleased with the bulls and females on display and took advantage of the opportunity to take a look before sale season ramps up.
"It's great to be able to view the bulls in a relaxed atmosphere, rather than on sale day. It's also a chance to have a talk about their breeding objectives and traits," said Peter Trescowthick, "Koombahla", Holbrook.

Parkes producers Graham and Alex Wilkinson, "Beargamil", made the trip to see what genetics were on offer.
"We're looking to change our bulls and this is our initial search," Graham said.
"We heard about the reputation of some of the bulls down here and it was a good opportunity to come and have a look."
The Land will have rolling coverage of Southern Beef Week until August 4.
