Calf Classic
-
Inspired by the local Calf Club competitions from the 1930-80's, we can't wait to see lots of enthusiastic young calf owners with their calves for our first ever Foster Show Calf Classic! This is a low pressure competition and will be a great opportunity to learn from other experienced cattle owners/handlers.

On Farm Challenges
We know there’s some exceptional local producers and our show is a celebration of agricultural excellence. Our On Farm Challenges take the competition to the producer with judges visiting farms for our On Farm Beef and Dairy Challenges and silage analysis results being submitted for comparison and judging in the lead up to show day.
