SILVER – Class 3 – Commercial Wagyu Steak (Marble Score 5-7) – The Phoenix

BRONZE – Class 4 – Open F1 Wagyu Steak – The Phoenix

Mort & Co Wagyu Operations Manager, Berry Reynolds, says the performance of Mort & Co’s branded beef products continues to be driven by the impressive efforts of the company’s entire integrated supply chain, including its producers. “It’s an outstanding achievement, particularly for our new Fullblood brand. Our producers are the foundations of the beef we supply to both domestic and international markets, and it’s the relationship we have with these partners that ultimately paves way for the results we have seen tonight.”

EA Blake and Sons – T.S Mort

Werner Rural Investments – Master Selection

Taking inspiration from Australian agricultural pioneer and Mort & Co predecessor, Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, T.S Mort is a Fullblood Wagyu brand, bringing together the very best in Wagyu breeding acumen and feedlotting expertise to deliver Mort & Co’s most premium branded Wagyu product yet. The brand forms part of a new signature beef range for Mort & Co, entitled The Estate Range. The range is a testament to the triumphs of Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, whose colonial endeavours set the foundations for one of the greatest Australian stories of our time. Mort & Co General Manager Business Development and Sales, Jamie Ferguson, says the introduction of T.S Mort and The Estate Range is an exciting stage in the growth of Mort & Co.
