Amy Morton was crowned Miss Casino Beef Week for 2010 at the Country Energy Casino Beef Week 2010 glittering opening dinner on Saturday
The Casino Beef Week Queen 2010, Amy Morton surely knows a thing or two about beef. She is a qualified butcher at the Northern Co operative Meat Company, working as the specification co-ordinator for one of the operators in the boning room, and is also training the supervisor in charge of apprentices. Amy has her sights set high and is studying the Certificate IV course in leadership in meat processing, and will follow this through to a diploma. Her goal is to move into management in the meat industry. If her past success is anything to go by she looks set to achieve her goal. Amy won apprentice of the year in 2008 and won a scholarship to attend the recent IFFA world meat trade fair in Frankfurt. Amy entered the contest to represent the Angus beef breed, believing Angus to be one of the most popular breeds. Speaking from her butcher's perspective, Amy said Angus offers a variety of meats and can meet a good range of markets. The girl who grew up on a farm at Larnook will make an excellent representative of Casino Beef Week and the Beef industry. Highlights of Beef Week include: Monday, judging of of window display prizes to those Casino businesses that displayed the ‘Wild Wild West’ theme. Tomorrow night there is the Fashion Parade, then the race day and on Friday morning, the Butchers’ Breakfast.
