The Sydney Royal Beef Challenge was established in 2011. It's a feedlot trial competition run by the RAS in regional NSW.

As a commercially-focussed feedlot competition, the annual Sydney Royal Beef Challenge is unique. It represents all stages of the process including live assessment, carcase judging, profitability and eating quality, plus all animals entered in the pen or 'lot' (six animals in total) are included in the results. Exhibitors can enter two classes - 70-day Domestic and 100-day Export.

The Sydney Royal Beef Challenge is held at Wilga Feedlot, Bellata.
