The RNA Beef Committee would like to provide you with an important update on our Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) Stud Beef Competition.
The Pavilion Surface
Following valuable feedback from exhibitors after the 2019 Ekka, we are continuing to work on improving the surface of The Pavilion where stud beef cattle are stalled. A number of options have been trialled to date, and we have narrowed the long-term solution down to a few options. These will be further tested this year, with improvements made for the 2021 Ekka.
Exhibitor Onsite Accommodation
Exhibitors can book their onsite accommodation online from Monday 31 May. Thanks for your patience while we work with Queensland Health to ensure our onsite accommodation meets their COVID-19 requirements. A comprehensive guide outlining details for this year's onsite accommodation will be sent to exhibitors when bookings open on May 31.
