THE Beef Central and Sheep Central publishing team will be taking a short break over the Christmas and New Year period as the livestock industries pause for the summer recess.

Important news content will continue to be uploaded to both websites as it happens over coming weeks, and our regular news emails to subscribers will re-commence from Monday, January 12, 2015.

If you do not yet receive our free daily news alerts, click here to register for Beef Central, and click here to register for Sheep Central.

Since January, Beef Central and Sheep Central’s combined news emails have delivered more than 2000 news items to readers, covering the entire spectrum of the beef, lamb and wool supply chains.

Our ability to deliver that, free-of-charge, to a large and growing audience of beef and sheep industry stakeholders across Australia is due to one thing: the enduring support of our advertisers, for which we remain extremely grateful.

We encourage all readers to consider our advertisers’ goods and services when making purchases in the year ahead.

We wish all readers a happy, restful and most especially wet Christmas and New Year, and look forward to picking up where we left off on January 12.
