MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF JUDGE Since 2009, the prestigious Royal Queensland Food & Wine Show (RQFWS) Branded Beef and Branded Lamb Competition continues its dedication to unearth, recognize, reward, support, showcase and celebrate the very best of Australia’s finest beef and lamb. Because our Branded Beef and Branded Lamb competition is regarded as one of the most coveted and comprehensive of its kind in the nation, it provides the opportunity for exhibitors to measure their success against their peers, and the class winners are given the invaluable opportunity to proudly showcase their gold, silver, bronze or trophy medals on their product packaging, ensuring retail, food service and consumers are informed of the recognition the winning entrants so richly deserve, prior to purchasing these outstanding quality proteins. Once again, it is a great privilege for our esteemed judges and I to be given this opportunity to assess the best-of-the-best Branded Beef and Branded Lamb from regions across our vast country. Because Australia produces the best beef globally and the most stunning lamb, our experienced judging panels will knowledgeably and enthusiastically embrace all entries to evaluable the tenderness, juiciness, visual and most importantly, the balance of flavours. Our highly respected judging panel are food professionals – award winning chefs, premium butchers, industry experts, and leading food and agri-business journalists. Behind the scenes, the engine room will once again be skilfully managed by highly qualified stewards with decades of butchery and industry experience, and the precise technical cooking regime will be mastered by a team of proficient science experts from the Queensland Government Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. Because this competition is so valued across Australia, we thank our partners and sponsors - Meat & Livestock Australia, Kings Street and the Queensland Government - for their ongoing support and encouragement. I am constantly overwhelmed by the resilience demonstrated by our agricultural community and the perseverance of its people with the ongoing plethora of challenges – crippling drought, extreme floods, devastating fire, a turbulent export market, chaotic world politics, Covid and so much more… Considering this difficult landscape, even more extraordinary is how our beef and lamb exhibitors deliver unprecedented growth in quality, year on year. We encourage you and your colleagues, to register for the RQFWS Branded Beef and Lamb Competition to showcase and benchmark your many years of hard work, endurance and commitment – to advance and celebrate excellence in Australian beef and lamb. We look forward to toasting the winners and sharing their stories. Warm regards, Elaine Millar - Chief Judge Royal Queensland Food & Wine Show, Branded Beef and Lamb Competition RNA Paddock to Palate Wagyu Challenge – Wagyu Taste Off Class 39D 5 COMPETITION SCHEDULE
