The footy season may be on hold but a State of Origin rivalry will ignite tonight when The Land's 2020 Beef Battle interbreed judging kicks off from 7pm.
Beef enthusiasts from across the globe have tuned in to watch the virtual online competition which was created after the cancellation of local and royal shows.
After judges Martin Lill and Erica Halliday sifted through entries from 16 different breeds across the country, only four animals remain.
Tonight John Manchee, Manchee Agriculture, Narrabri will make his assessments in a livestream on The Land website and Facebook page.
