2027 Angus Youth National Roundup

13–16 January 2027 | Bendigo, Victoria

The road to Bendigo has begun! The 2027 Angus Youth National Roundup will bring young beef industry enthusiasts from across Australia together for four action-packed days of education, competition, leadership development, industry engagement and, of course, cattle.

For almost four decades, Roundup has provided young people with a place to learn, test their skills, build friendships and discover opportunities within the Australian beef industry. In 2027, another generation will become part of that story.

About the Angus Youth National Roundup

The Angus Youth National Roundup is Angus Australia’s flagship youth development event, providing a learning platform for young people aged 8–25 with an interest in the Australian beef cattle industry.

While cattle preparation, handling, showing and judging competitions remain a much-loved part of Roundup, the event extends well beyond the show ring. Education, leadership development, industry engagement, networking opportunities and team building activities provide participants with the opportunity to develop practical skills and broaden their understanding of the Australian beef industry.

Participants don’t need years of showing experience to become involved. Roundup brings together young people with vastly different levels of cattle experience and provides an environment where they can learn from one another, as well as from some of the Australian beef industry’s leading professionals.

From practical cattle skills and judging through to genetics, commercial beef production, processing, marketing and career opportunities, Roundup provides an experience that stretches across the beef supply chain and well beyond the show ring.

2027 Roundup Scholarships, Awards, Bursaries & Internships

The Angus Youth National Roundup is more than an opportunity to develop skills, build friendships and compete. It also provides a platform for young people to explore exciting opportunities for further education, professional development and involvement in the Australian beef industry.

Through the Angus Australia Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries program, supported by the Angus Australia Foundation and generous industry partners, young people can access a range of opportunities designed to expand their knowledge, gain valuable industry experience and develop their future careers in agriculture.

Interested in the opportunities available in 2027? Participants wishing to be considered for Roundup-specific scholarships, awards, bursaries and internships must be registered for the 2027 Angus Youth National Roundup. Individual opportunities may have additional eligibility requirements, application processes and closing dates.

Meet the 2027 Roundup Organising Committee

Behind every Roundup is a dedicated organising committee helping turn months of planning into several action-packed days.
