ANGUS BEEF IN THE MONEY AGAIN AT 2010 STEAK OF ORIGIN FINALS

11 of the steaks in the Steak of Origin final were from Angus  or Angus X animals so it could br reasoned that Angus beef was going to feature in the award if the law of averages was abhered to! So no Angus breeder was disappointed when;

• Forbes and Angus Cameron of Ngaputahi Station at Ashhurst took out the "Best of British" title from 2 other Angus steaks and one Hereford.
  
  
• Kathy Child & Yvonne Hill from Whangarei  won the "Best of Cross bred" section with an Angus/Limousin X steak.
  
  
• Chef's Choice from Wanganui, who are one of the distributors of AngusPure won the "Best of Brand - Wholesale and foodstuff".
  
  
• Chef's Choice then went on to win the "Best of Brand" with their AngusPure brand
  
  
• Kathy Child and Yvonne Hill went on to take out the "Steak of Origin" title for 2010 with their Angus/Limousin X cross animal, proving that not only is Angus beef very good on its own but combines very well in crossbred programmes to produce the very finest beef.
  
  This means that entries of Angus beef have been involved with the Champion Steak at the Steak of Origin in 6 of the last 7 years, a clear indicator that quality beef is Angus and Angus beef is what the consumer is wanting - a great endorsement for the AngusPure brand and the other brands and programmes  (McAngus, CABNZ, CANZ, SFFCANZ, Hellers AngusPure) that Angus NZ has developed for their beef products and for the NZ Angus beef farmers to take advantage of.
