FEEDER cattle prices have continued their momentum this week, with the Darling Downs flatback feeder steer price reducing the 100c premium for Angus steers.
In this episode of The Week in Beef, we discuss how grids have risen this week, what that means for feedlot margins and why the numbers are lining up for lighter cattle to enter the feedlot.
Plus:
- What will it take to get more Australian superannuation funds to invest in agriculture?
- Beef Central genetics editor Alastair Rayner gives an update on bull selling season
- Timber Queensland CEO Mick Stephens talks about the opportunities for cattle producers to harvest timber
- The number of the week looks at herd projections, price indicators and supporting livestock transporters
