Australia’s feedlot sector has doubled in size in the past 11 years to 1.66 million by July 2026, driven by vertical integration, strong overseas demand (notably long‑fed Wagyu) and rising investment from private and corporate buyers.

The episode examines construction timelines and rising per‑head build costs, critical issues around water, waste and regulation, the changing buyer mix, notable sales such as Grassdale, and the main risks — from disease outbreaks to supply and logistics — while concluding the industry outlook remains positive in the short to medium term.
