Summary
The Willalooka Farm Management Group had identified a common problem in meeting market specifications and was keen to better understand how price grids worked. According to project contact Kevin Johnson, understanding market specifications is essential in avoiding price penalties when cattle are slaughtered outside weight or fat cover specifications.
"The objective of this Producer Research Support project was to improve members skills in livestock assessment and broaden their knowledge of available markets so as to be able to profit from fewer penalties and greater market options," Mr Johnson said.
