The third gold medal was awarded in the Open Beef, High Marble Score class, for the brand Stockyard Kiwami (score 90.5).
In the same classes, Mort & Co was awarded three silver medals.
In the Grain Fed Beef class, Mort & Co gained silver for its Grandchester brand (score 85.83), while in the Open Beef, High Marble Score class, it achieved silver for its Master Selection (score 89.5) and The Phoenix (score 84.5) brands.
The Champion Beef title in the Branded Beef section went to Tamworth-based Jacks Creek for its Jacks Creek Wagyu, while the Grand Champion was submitted by Midfield Meats International, from Warrnambool in Victoria, for its Union Station

The Royal Fine Food Show had its origins in 1888 when the Agricultural Society of New South Wales introduced an arts competition which quickly saw the emergence of cheese, butter, coffee, fruit and honey competitions.
