Around the ring: Gray Cattle's led steers dominate at CQ shows

Run by partners Brock Gray and Steph Frankham, they showed three steers in total.

Recently, their steer, Nugget, 630 kilograms, took home champion steer at the Baralaba, Marlborough and Rockhampton Shows.

The steer is owned in partnership with Justin Rohde of Nutrien Ag Solutions, Emerald, from Casey and Nigel Weick of CB Limousins and Charolais.

"(Nugget) is a very complete steer, that is soft, with plenty of red meat," Steph told the Queensland Country Life.

"He was purchased out of the golden opportunity sale at Coonamble in September last year.

"The team will now go to Mount Larcom this weekend and then onto CQ Carcass competition at the end of the month."

Nugget also won the FeedPro Australia super steer series as well.

Their steer, Smoothie, 644kg, won second place in the over 500kg class at Baralaba, Marlborough, Ridgelands, Yeppoon and Rockhampton show.

While their steer, Jimmy, 622kg, won champion steer overall at Yeppoon.

Steph said the business focused on showing a mixture breeds, as well as breeding grey Brahman and Charolais cattle.

"We try our best to select steers that have plenty of punch & shape with good finishing ability," she said.

"This year we've had help from the Olive family from Raglan Brahmans and Mason Iker.

"We have lent our steers to Saint Brendan's/ Saint Ursula's show team for their students to take in paraders competitions. "

The Emerald Show on June 4 was judged by Ryan Holzwart and Lincoln Job.
