Beef
MLA Market Information's Industry Overview publication provides a snapshot of the key market drivers affecting the cattle industry.
Some of the key highlights from the latest edition include:
- Cattle slaughter picked up in August (relative to July), although overall supply remains slightly lower than in 2010.
- Young cattle prices remain at elevated levels, buoyed by restocker demand and relatively tight supplies.
- Exports to Australia's key beef markets of Japan and the US were sluggish in August, but growth to other markets, including Korea and Russia helped the monthly total.
