The 114th Barraba Show is set to kick off this Friday, showcasing all aspects of Agricultural excellence in the Barraba region and beyond. The annual event will run from 7-9 March and is expected to draw in large crowds to the town.
Inaugurated in 1904, the Barraba Show is a display of agricultural achievement, spotlighting the region’s farming prowess and innovation. Livestock exhibitions, competitions, and demonstrations form an integral part of the event, offering a platform for farmers and producers to showcase their prized animals, produce and cutting-edge agricultural practices.
Secretary of the Barraba Show, Carmen Bennett, believes the event provides an established platform to display the diversity of the agricultural industry.
“It’s a great opportunity for our community to showcase quality horsemanship, livestock and future leaders in agriculture.
“There are a range of events to keep crowds entertained both during the day and at night time, including the Xtreme Broncs, Junior Rodeo, live music and motorbike barrel racing all weekend long”, she said.
From Friday 7 March, participants across New South Wales will come together to compete in the campdraft competition, with wool judging, show jumping and the highly-anticipated Motorbike Barrel Race to follow in the evening.
The Sports Shear and Wool Handling Competition will commence on Saturday from 8am, where shearers will compete in a time trial to sheer as many sheep as they can.
To cap it all off, the annual Barraba Rodeo will commence from 7pm – featuring live music and exhilarating performances from bull riders. Additional campdraft and horse events will continue throughout Sunday, with yard dog trials, pavilion and circus performers, Australian Stock and Horse Judging and a under 18’s pet and dog show to follow.
