The Nicolls family's stud Tookawhile Charolais, from Rukenvale via Kyogle, claimed the title of champion led steer at Casino Beef Week on Wednesday night, with a medium-weight Charolais calf weighing 428 kilograms.
Described by judge Tim Bayliss as "purposeful" with good thickness through the chest, the winning steer, sired by Tookawhile Piccadilly Punch, went on to sell for the top price of 2500 cents a kilogram, to repeat Tookawhile buyer and Woodenbong Angus breeder Mike Smith, of the MJ Smith Group.
