Wingham Beef Week

Wingham Beef Week is held each year at the Wingham Showgrounds in May.

Our event is built around a week of educational experiences for passionate students, juniors, and producers, from the show ring to educational seminars and abattoir visits.

Wingham Beef Week aims to educate at ground level the next generation of our future junior beef enthusiasts in a hands-on environment to increase their knowledge/exposure to the Australian beef industry through education and competition. Producers use the event to test their skills and benchmark their finished product against other producers and industry peers by competing in carcase competitions, both led and unled.

As a community-based organisation, Wingham Beef Week relies on the support of its many partners to conduct this significant event, which delivers a unique learning environment for the youth of the Australian beef sector. Importantly, Wingham Beef Week provides the only youth cattle event that provides a full paddock-to-plate experience, thanks to the generosity of Wingham Beef Exports providing access to the abattoir facilities.

Wingham Beef Week will be held in Wingham, NSW, from 12-16 May 2025.

In 2024, Wingham Beef Week grew significantly, with a record 73 entrants in the Unled classes and 141 entries in the Led Catle event. We again had over 400 students across almost 30 schools participate in Wingham Beef Week, equivalent to over a quarter of the number of students who study HSC agriculture across the State each year.

We look forward to seeing you at the event to enjoy an outstanding exhibition of beef cattle and appreciate the efforts and skills of producers, teachers, and students.
