Cattle at Sydney Royal Easter Show

The Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales has held a show since 1823, and the Easter show in its present form is one of the largest annual events in Australia. It runs for about twelve days around Easter at Sydney Olympic Park, where it moved in 1998. Beef and dairy cattle are judged in large numbers, along with sheep, wool, wine and produce, and the district exhibits arrange the harvest of each region into great displays. The grand parade brings champion cattle, horses and other animals into the main arena together. For many city children it is their first sight of cattle close up.

Also part of it, and being written: Illawarra Shorthorn (An Australian dairy breed from the south coast of New South Wales.), Murray Grey (A silver-grey beef breed bred along the Murray river.), Droughtmaster (A tropical composite shown in the beef classes.), Australian Lowline (A small Angus-derived breed developed in New South Wales.).
