Benchmark your product on a national level

carcase competition

Beef producers from around Australia have a unique opportunity to benchmark their product on a national level by entering Beef Australia’s 2024 AMPC National Beef Carcase Competition – with processing plants in every state, this is truly a national competition that encompasses education, learning and celebrates camaraderie amongst exhibitors.

Why should you exhibit in the Beef Australia AMPC National Beef Carcase Competition?

“The data that is available through carcass competitions is invaluable especially
when looking at improving the genetics in our herd”

G & N Bendotti, Pemberton, WA

“A true measure in the beef business is best highlighted through
carcass competitions and the data available”

Terry Nolan, Cooloola Blondes, Gympie, Qld

The appraisal system utilised in the competition is specifically designed to meet both export and domestic market requirements and uses the latest technology available to the beef industry.

The AMPC National Beef Carcase Competition aims to give feedback to producers about compliance of beef carcases to market specifications, lean meat yield, and predicted eating quality of those carcases (MSA index).

A new class has been introduced into the 2024 competition, allowing for weights of 360 kilograms or over into a new Open Class unrestricted feeding section. This will allow for producers who target long-fed markets to nominate into the new class, allowing for a bigger and better competition in 2024.

In recognition of the hard work each participating plant contributes to the success of the Beef Australia AMPC National Beef Carcase Competition, a new award category has been introduced. The ‘Most Successful Plant’ award will be awarded to the processing plant that achieves the highest score based on the below criteria.

Nominations for Beef Australia’s 2024 AMPC National Beef Carcase Competition are OPEN NOW.
