Welcome to Livestock Now, a hub for Elders livestock news, insights, analysis, and support.
Livestock Now is packed with content and analysis, including outlooks for livestock markets from analysts Richard Koch and Simon Quilty. Read about how meat and wool markets could perform through to 2027, as well as how Trump’s tariffs may affect Australian beef. Plus, Elders' livestock managers from across Australia weigh in on the performance of ram sales this year.
In the next instalment of our series ‘Meat the Supplier’ we speak to James Carter, a Nuffield Scholar investigating the use of technology to drive profitability and sustainability in the beef industry by improving carcase yields.
You’ll also find advice relating to joining preparation for both sheep and cattle, from our specialists in livestock production.
Finally, meet some of the talent in the Elders business – we spoke with South Australian district wool manager Tim Shepherd and Warren livestock production advisor in-training, Meg Rosenbaum.
Consider subscribing to make sure you’re the first to receive new content. Quarterly, subscribers can look forward to a summary email of what’s new on Livestock Now, in addition to regular commentary throughout the quarter.
I hope this edition is valuable to you and your livestock business.
