As Australia lives up to its reputation of being a land of extremes, the Week in Beef team takes a look at what the extreme weather is doing to the cattle industry.
Victoria is currently on alert for more bushfires, a heatwave has hit New South Wales and Southern Queensland the Gilbert River in North Qld is preparing for a major flood. Plus:
- James Nason talks about how the Indonesian Government’s lowered cap on beef pricing could impact Australia’s live cattle trade.
- Northern Territory cattleman Frank Shadforth awarded an Order of Australia medal for his lifetime of work mentoring at risk youth.
- The number of the week takes a rest for the Beef Central team to look at what might happen in the year ahead – from cattle prices, to exotic diseases and whether Australia might send a live export boat to the United States.
