Another Wrap

Another year, another conference. Busy, successful, some very nice food.

Friday afternoon golf; Friday night cocktail party.

Saturday forum; Saturday night gala dinner with meat for entree and main supplied by us - thai beef salad using ms 9 followed by a 7/8 striploin with vine ripened toms, baby carrots, green asparagus, potato gratin and red wine jus. The slide show was popular, with 110 slides showcasing what goes on in the company wagyu world.

A "guess the marble score and rank them" competition drew 95 entries. It wasn't easy - only 3 people got the highest score of 6/8.

Sunday saw two sessions - one on grading and the other on using secondary cuts. Both involved cooking demonstrations.

Following the demos, there were awards; an inaugural branded beef competition. Medals were awarded for reaching a certain standard.

We left the coast mid afternoon and headed to Bris where we had a dinner meeting with a customer. This morning we had an early breakfast with ts then I spent a couple of hours being shown the new budget program. We had a quick lunch with Drew and finally arrived home at 5pm.

Off to have my ear op tomorrow. Am hoping to be telling everyone to STOP YELLING in the next week or so!!
