HE walked in like he owned the joint. And at 700kg there was little stopping Biscuit when he presented himself at the bar in the famed Breakfast Creek Hotel for a beer.

Prepared by St John's College, Dubbo, NSW, the honey coloured Limousin/Charolais-cross steer went on to sell at auction for $25,000 to Bruce Mathieson from ALH Group which owns arguably Queensland’s most famous watering hole.
It’s the fifth year the charity auction has been held at the Breakfast Creek Hotel and the fifth year steak from the charity steer will be served through the famed pub’s steakhouse. It is expected a special lunch will also be held to raise more funds for prostrate cancer research in November.
The money will be donated to the Mater and PA hospitals for prostrate cancer research.
Biscuit will be processed at Nolan Meats in Gympie and then prepared for the Breakfast Creek by specialty meat company Alacarte Meats in Morningside.
The outstanding steer was bred by the Kirk family’s Wilworril Limousin Stud at Rylstone, NSW, using a bull from David and Prue Bondfield’s Palgrove Stud at Dalveen.
Biscuit was exhibited at a number of shows in NSW and Queensland including the recent Beaudesert Show and was also on display at the Royal Queensland Show in Brisbane in August. He was shown by Year 10 St John’s student Lauren Moody.
