The National Shorthorn Show & Sale is the premier “blue ribbon” event in the Shorthorn breed calendar. It is also one of the more prestigious and significant events within the broader cattle industry.
The “National” as it is known, is built around the exhibition and subsequent sale of an “elite” line up of Shorthorn bulls assembled from top studs across Australia.
It is a unique opportunity, indeed the one opportunity each year to see the best of the breed under one roof.
The event has been running continuously for 60 years and enjoys a high profile within the cattle industry

Information Regarding The 2026 National Shorthorn Show & Sale
⭐ Dates: 16th & 17th June 2026
⭐ No Unled
Specific concerns have been raised regarding the Unled section. Given these issues, the committee acknowledges that the continuation of the Unled Section poses a material risk to both the event’s insurance coverage and the safety obligations of the organisers.
Following discussion the committee has voted on weather to to continue the Unled. The decision was made to cease the Unled section from 2026 onwards, ensuring that future shows remain compliant with insurance requirements and uphold the highest standards of safety for participants and livestock.
The committee would like to emphasise that this decision has not been taken lightly. The Unled Section has historically produced exceptional seed stock animals, contributing greatly to the success and reputation of the Show & Sale. The committee extends its sincere thanks to all exhibitors, breeders, and supporters who have helped make these classes such a success over the years.

As a previous successful vendor and a supporter of buying genetics from the National Shorthorn Show & Sale i hope this decision is not detrimental to its future. I understand the decision wasn’t taken lightly but commercial relevance is where the breed should be aiming and there are many producers who don’t like the thought of buying led bulls so giving them an option of unled was good for the sale. Only my opinion
Spring Fling in Tamworth is an unlead sale!
That’s crap!!
