FROM time to time, Beef Central puts together lists and supporting commentary profiling different sectors of the Australian beef supply chain.

Readers might remember last year’s highly successful and informative Top 25 Livestock Transporters feature, which profiled the nation’s largest stock transport operators, stretching from Tasmania to Darwin.

Now it’s the Australian feedlot industry’s turn.

Beef Central has spent the past two months collecting data to put together a comprehensive Top 25 Lotfeeders statistical list and report – the first of its type attempted since a similar MLA-driven analysis carried out back in 2003.

The feature delivers some fascinating insights into the changing face of lotfeeding in Australia.

Come back next week to access the start of our Top 25 Lotfeeders presentation, which will roll-out progressively over the following four weeks.
