Around 100 competitors from NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland and Tasmania took part in the event, which had been postponed from January due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
It had been 2.5 years since the last Angus Youth Roundup was held in Toowoomba, Qld, and participants were all smiles as they took the opportunity to gain a new network of friends, up skill themselves and gather a deeper understanding of the Angus breed and the broader beef industry, all while having fun.
A feature of the weekend included a cooking demonstration on Friday night from Fast Ed, one of Australia's leading chefs who works on Better Homes and Gardens.
The auction held during the special dinner dance on Saturday night raised $25,789.
