Best of farming on display

It was all denim and cowboy hats at the Lang Lang Show on the weekend which celebrated almost 125 years as a proud destination for all farmers.

The 2025 Lang Lang Agricultural Show was held over the weekend of 18 and 19 January at the Lang Lang Showgrounds.

The Lang Lang Pastoral, Agricultural and Horticultural Association (P,A & H Association) began in 1900 with the first show in 1901.

Still firmly focused on the best of farming, the show included the titular exhibitions of cattle, sheep, poultry, horse, kennel section and much more.

The show kicked off on Friday evening with the Junior Handler and Junior Judging program with 29 young junior enthusiasts, in attendance. Nutrien Stud Stock Marketing Specialist from NSW Miss Micquella Grimmer judged the junior competition and was impressed with the classes and quality of cattle.

The Saturday Beef Cattle classes were judged by the current Stud Manager of Glendan Park Herefords, Mr Andrew Green.

The P, A & H Association cattle committee thanked the exhibitors, patrons and volunteers that made this year’s show. With 74 head of cattle in attendance, the show was a huge success.

They also thanked the partners and sponsors for their ongoing support during the show, they said without them the show wouldn’t go on.
