Nutrien Ag Solutions announced as multi-event Principal Partner for Beef Australia

Beef Australia CEO Simon Irwin said Nutrien Ag Solutions will be at the forefront of the 2024 event, as they again lend their name to two iconic cattle championships in the Beef Australia program of events.  

“As part of this strategic partnership, Nutrien Ag Solutions will be the proud naming rights sponsor for the Nutrien Ag Solutions Commercial Cattle Championship and Awards Dinner and the Nutrien Ag Solutions Stud Cattle Championship”, said Mr Irwin. 

“Taking place on the 5th and 6th May 2024 at CQLX, the Nutrien Ag Solutions Commercial Cattle Championship is a permanent fixture on Beef Australia’s calendar of events where Australian commercial cattlemen and cattlewomen compete for a chance to have their cattle awarded the best in the country. 

“The Championship concludes at the Nutrien Ag Solutions Commercial Cattle Championship Dinner on Monday 6th May, a celebration that recognises the pinnacle of excellence in the commercial cattle realm.

“The Nutrien Ag Solutions Stud Cattle Championship continues to stand as a crown jewel within the Beef Australia lineup, and over the course of five days, the culmination of years – and in some cases, even decades – of unwavering dedication will take Centre Ring. 

“This multi-event partnership across both the stud and commercial cattle sectors reaffirms Nutrien Ag Solutions commitment to supporting the agricultural industry and promoting excellence within it. 

“With Nutrien Ag Solutions by our side, we look forward to creating two exceptional Beef Australia events that will have a lasting impact on our industry". 

Nutrien Ag Solutions Regional Manager Robert Payne said Beef Australia is the ultimate showcase of the industry. 

“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with Beef Australia and offer our support for one of the world’s largest beef events,” said Mr Payne. 

“The Nutrien Ag Solutions Commercial Cattle Championship and Awards Dinner is always a highlight on the program and brings together people from the wider beef cattle industry, business, government, and the Central Queensland community. 

“All of the excitement and action at Centre Ring is also sure to draw another big crowd for the Nutrien Ag Solutions Stud Cattle Championship.  

“Each year the competition brings together an exceptional line up of stock which attracts plenty of attention locally and globally.
