Sydney Royal Easter Show 2022 saw the Square Meater breed shine in the carcase entry of the Hook and Hook competition. Three Steers prepared and exhibited by Penola Catholic College and St Gregory’s College were entered into The Big Show in April 2022. The Steers originally purchased from Palmerston Holdings (Gloucester) and Weethalle Square Meaters (Boorowa) were at the schools for 5 months where they were halter trained, grown out and prepared for the show.

In June following a general meeting, members attended a field day at Woolaringa to view their herd of traditional Murray Grey and Square Meaters cattle. The genetics of this herd has been developed over two generations. There were presentations by Brad Perry and Mick Battiste, both butchers.
