Agra Weaner Championship Series kicks off next month
The 12th edition of the Agra Weaner Championship Series is set to kick off next month.
Spanning from Karasburg to Grootfontein, a total of 18 auctions are scheduled to take place from 18 July to 14 September, offering a platform for producers to showcase their exceptional work.
This according to Agra, which added: “We will also be organising four auctions in the communal areas of Aminus, Okondjatu, Talismanus and Okakarara, aiming to engage these emerging regions”.
Agra said the primary objective of the series is to provide capacity-building opportunities for participating communities and to recognise top producers for their outstanding achievements.
“This esteemed series not only serves as a significant cash-flow stimulus for numerous cattle farmers, but also incentivises excellence in weaner quality.”
By participating in this prestigious series, producers have the opportunity to gauge and compare their production standards and management practices with their peers on a national level, the company said. The judging criteria have been standardised to ensure fairness and eliminate bias.

Animals compete in one of three competition categories: Feedlot potential (tollies), field potential (tollies) and breeding potential (heifers).
In addition to honouring the top performers in each category, the Agra Weaner Championship Series also recognises the contributions of buyers.
Prizes are awarded for the highest amount spent during the series, as well as the largest total number of animals purchased throughout the auctions.
Agra explained that prizes will be awarded to the top three winners in every competition category. The prizes will be distributed at each auction during the series, culminating in the announcement of regional winners and overall champions at the prestigious gala event held in October.
“The Agra Weaner Championship Series embodies inclusivity and represents the exceptional quality of Namibian cattle production. Achieving recognition in this competition requires unwavering commitment and adherence to excellent farming and management practices.”
