Big decisions in Qld | A push for more feedlots | Hay and grain supply under pressure
In this episode of The Week in Beef: The dry weather in Qld is forcing more cattle onto the market with a lot of cattle entering feedlots a bit lighter than normal. Livestock agent Bill Seeney explains the current cattle movements from western Qld. With major grain growing regions in Qld and northern NSW facing a heavily reduced winter crop harvest - where will hay and grain come from? Feed Central Managing Director, Tim Ford joins the show to tell us. We take a look at the big picture of how Australia can manage the growing competition in global meat markets with Meat & Livestock Australia's Andrew Cox and Brendan Tatt from JBS. Meet Gavin Carr, a cattle producer who has dedicated 20 years to breeding working dogs and is investing in the next generation of working dog trainers.
