Australia’s premier livestock export conference will be held on 26-27 November 2025 at Optus Stadium, Perth.

According to Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), total beef and veal exports for the financial year reached 1.4 million tonnes, the highest annual volume ever. Mutton exports also hit a new record at 256,104 tonnes. Lamb exports totalled 363,109 tonnes, making it the second-largest financial year for lamb exports.

Approximately 8,797,513 head were processed in Australia over the past 12 months – the second highest in any financial year since FY1978−1979. Processor-ready cattle numbers have lifted due to variable rainfall, or lack thereof, across cattle-producing regions.

When Brian and Keeleigh Allport first introduced goats to their cattle and sheep enterprise in 2018, it was part of an on-farm drought mitigation strategy to help better manage their vegetation.
