The 45th Lardner Park steer trial, at Warragul, Gippsland, is hoping to take its first Tasmanian entrants, this year.
The trial begins in July, with entrants expected to arrive on the property in late June.
Lardner Park chief executive Nicola Pero said the trial aims to produce steers compliant with the Coles QA grass-fed program.
"In what are challenging times for so many farmers it has been fantastic to see such strong industry support with profile partners and sponsors to the trial, and annually increasing entries from primary producers," Ms Pero said.
"Even more evident is the Carcass Demonstration Day in 2018 where over 130 primary producers attended.
"Entries at the last tial came from NSW, VIC and the SA/VIC border and we are keen to attract additional entries this year from Tasmania.
"As the only grass based steer trial in Australia, producers across multiple states are provided the opportunity to assess cattle under independently controlled grazing conditions."
The trial is open to a pair of British or British-European cross steers.
Steers would be slaughtered at JBS Brooklyn, with the meat going to Coles.
Awards are based on weight gain, carcass score and a Meat Standards Australia assessment.
Ms Pero said the aim was to achieve the ideal weight trajectory required to comply with the Coles QA program for cattle which had not been fed grain, since birth, had no antibiotics or hormone growth promotants.
"In year's gone by, it was a trial for local farmers and breeders, but now we are having some larger commercial producers, and we have groups such as Herefords Australia, which joined the trial, as a national breed society, last year."
The trial was also likely to be a pilot Telstra Smart Farm, which involved the installation of sensors to collect such things are weather data.
"What the trial does is provide a lot of correlated data.
"Agriculture Victoria and Heritage Seeds are involved, and they bring their knowledge to the table to trial and test products and how they correlate with climate conditions and weight gain, in the stock."
Farm manager Anthony Willems strip grazed the property, allowing comparison between different pastures and fertiliser regimes.
"We'll be able to share loads of information and innovative ideas through our regular e-newsletters and correspondence.
"Plus a favourite for many - our video chats with Mr Willems, providing all the latest news and updates from out in the paddock with the steer, checking in on feed, weather and paddock conditions."
"We contribute to farmer education around MSA grading and there is a lot of shared information and data that would be hugely expensive to gain, just by doing it on individual farms."
