The Taranaki Halal Butchery donated meat for the barbecue and three $100 meat pack vouchers.
One of the vouchers was won by Brandon Holdt, who's just moved back to Taranaki. "I've been down in Foxton where I was a senior farm assistant on an 1800-cow dairy farm with an 80 bale rotary milking shed," he said.
"It was a massive operation." Brandon now works as a second-in-charge for James Holgate and Tracy Kivell who contract milk 350 cows at Midhirst.
"It was great coming along and meeting new people and catching up with a couple of former schoolmates," said Brandon.
Central Taranaki Young Farmers holds monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of the month at the Toko Tavern.
