A new attendance record was set this year with 115,866 people through the gates - up from the 100,000 attendance in 2018.
More statistics include 11,000 people using the new park and ride service, 4980 head of cattle across the event, 63 tonnes of beef consumed throughout the week, 800 contractors and staff behind the scenes with 150 Beef Australia volunteers.

The Queensland Government has announced $20 million to construct a new pipeline and increase dam capacity for drought affected towns on the Southern Darling Downs.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced on April 15, $8 million for design and surveying for a Toowoomba to Warwick pipeline and $4.54 million to increase capacity to Leslie Dam by 1700ML.
This announcement comes as the Central Queensland town of Mount Morgan is also suffering from a serious water crisis, with its main water source, the No.7 dam, dropping to about 8.6 per cent capacity.
Twenty water trucks are now making the haul up the Razorback every day to supply water for the town.
