The Royal Agricultural Society extends warm congratulations to Justin Fyvie of Five Star Santa Gertrudis for his impressive results at the Royal Fat Stock Show and Carcass Competition’s on-the-hoof beef judging at Lions River Sale Yard on Saturday.

Justin’s animals shone, securing first and third places in the Best Slaughter Cow class, and second place in the Over 530kg (Super Ox) class with a Santa Gertrudis.

The RAS would like to thank the Fyvie family sincerely for their support of the Royal over many years.

Thanks also go to RPO KZN and AAM Cattle Agents and Auctioneers for their assistance in making this event a success, and SAFJA senior judge Andrew Adams and assistant judge Andrew Unsworth for their professionalism and informative explanations on the day.

The full results of the Royal Fat Stock Show on-the-hoof judging are available here.

The results of the carcass judging will be announced later this week, after judging by Chris Ngeleza of SAMIC at Halaal Fresh Meats Abattoir in Thornville.

The Royal Fat Stock Show remains a proud showcase of agricultural heritage, community spirit, and forward-looking excellence. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year for another memorable event.
