Welcome back to Livestock Now, a hub for Elders livestock news, insights, analysis, and support.
As we navigate through the challenges and opportunities that our sector holds, Elders Livestock Now remains a reliable hub for livestock news, insights, analysis, and support.
In our spotlight on winter, you can read about a Tasmanian client at the forefront of innovation and sustainability in their wool operations. From implementing regenerative grazing methods to collaborating with the University of Tasmania to monitor natural wildlife, their practices not only benefit the environment but have also improved the resilience of their business.
You’ll also find an update from independent market analyst Simon Quilty, who explains how the ongoing situation in the Middle East may affect Australian beef and sheepmeat prices. Plus, Elders analyst Richard Koch weighs in with outlooks for sheep and cattle markets.
Our next ‘Meat the Supplier’ article features Felicity Coventry from Woolworths’ meat procurement business Greenstock. Felicity manages livestock sourcing and producer partnerships, and in this Q and A style interview, she shares insights into the impact of consumer preferences on sourcing decisions, and how strong producer and processor relationships ensure a steady supply of high-quality meat products.
Plus, learn about the newly launched Elders Finance brand, bringing local, accessible banking products to rural Australia.
You’ll also find practical advice from our livestock production team relating to travel tetany prevention, green feed management and making the best of dry conditions.
I hope this initiative is valuable to you and your livestock business.
