LOCAL and international breeders of Speckle Park cattle, as well as representatives of kindred industries, will have Sydney on their radar in 2021.
Coinciding with the 2021 Sydney Royal Easter Show at Homebush, at which Speckle Park will be the Feature Breed, will be the Speckle Park World Congress from March 24-29.
Delegates from throughout Australia, New Zealand and Canada are expected to visit.
"Interspersed throughout the competitions will be a number of events involving guest speakers and informative presentations showcasing the breed and its members. All of the sub-committees are working feverishly to ensure the event is one to remember," Congress committeeman chairman Paul Long said.
"The conference will be very hands on with a heavy emphasis on the stud show and steers competitions. There will be several networking events.
"We are working on a trade information day and also ideas to make the event an educational experience and an environment for existing friendships and business relationships to be maintained as well as new ones to be established."
Congress planning is led by Wayne Munt and various committees spearheaded by Amy Dickens and Anne Anne Knoblanche (Marketing), Mathew Webber (Youth), Dallas Coben (Technical) and Mr Long.
