Art4agriculture has arrived at the Sydney Royal Easter Show twelves hours before show time and wow is there movement at the station

Here are some highlights from my quick visit to check on the Archies to see if they were well fed and watered

Firstly I passed through the beef cattle pavilion with my eyes wide open for the Camden Haven High  team. I ran into Annie who proudly showed off their heifer and steer and I look forward to meeting the rest of the team tomorrow. Good luck guys

Then I made my way through the rest of the beef cattle sheds. I read somewhere there are over 900 recognised breeds of cattle in the world. Well there are plenty of them at the show I can assure you.

Including these cuties

And my favourites the Belted Galloways

and some Red Poll Herefords and some Charolais and Lowlines

You can read all about the Red Meat industry in Australia here

Then I  spotted the Archies. How fine do they look taking centre stage in the new look Food Farm

Alexander Rafferty’s web page is looking awesome on the big plasma screen

Then there was Moobix and Patti all ready to do their thing at the Meat and Livestock stand

Patti will be showcasing the IBeef app which has been designed to deliver the perfect steak and can be downloaded here

Whilst I was there I ran into Kirsty who is also working with Aussie Apples

Make sure you take the Aussie Apples challenge when you visit the Food Farm

Make sure you get your passport stamp on the Animal Walk in the Food Farm here

Then it was off to have a quick look at the District Exhibits and boy was it a hive of activity

A lot of people will be working hard into the night on this.

And then finally the Junior District Exhibits which I get to judge in the morning and I was impressed.

Its not going to be easy

See what I mean!!!
