Moving On Out to Moonan

MORE than 1,000 head of cattle are being mustered out to the Moonan showground for the annual campdraft this weekend.

The cattle are all donated by local graziers and it is one of the only drafts in Australia where the cattle are walked to the ground for the event.

Alongside the main event will be the second ring with children’s events such as flag bending races.

The open final is scheduled to begin at approximately 6pm, with the bar open and entertainment happening late into the evening.
