Today is the last daily news upload for Beef Central for 2011.

The site will take a publishing break next week, returning with daily uploads on Tuesday, January 3.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish our many readers visiting the website and receiving our free daily email alerts, a happy and safe Christmas and New Year break.

We sincerely appreciate the overwhelming beef industry stakeholder support we have received since Australia's first dedicated online meat and livestock industry news service commenced operations on May 11, and look forward to building on those relationships in 2012.
