2023 Brymaroo Campdraft results
With a lot of attention on the Show in Oakey, the Brymaroo Campdraft slipped somewhat under the radar.
Not so in the Oakey Champion.
Held across two days last weekend at the Brymaroo Rodeo and Campdraft Grounds, the event attracted riders from across the district to take part in the uniquely Aussie sport of campdrafting.
The first official campdrafting competition took place in Tenterfield in 1885, and since that time, competitors have saddled up each year across the country to demonstrate their mastery over cattle.
Here are the results
