2026 Inaugural Mullet Competition
Debuting in 2024 and a fast crowd favourite was our Mullet Competition. Consisting of three categories, ‘Lambs’, ‘Weaners’ and ‘Culls’, the competition had entrants of all ages from near and far battling it out for the best locks on the block. Visitors to the Field Days were treated to the boys strutting their stuff on the catwalk while audience judges selected the finest fleeces.
This year, we are super excited to introduce some new categories and a new twist to the competition. We can’t wait to welcome the event back in 2026 - see below for details!
