How much value could your cattle be losing during transport?

Weight loss during transport (transport shrink) doesn't just affect animal condition, it can also reduce the sale weight, and ultimately the price received at the other end.

Join Dr Tony Parker (Meat & Livestock Australia) and Dr Elizabeth Parker (The Ohio State University) for a BeefConnect webinar to hear the latest research on transport shrink, learn how it can be estimated, and explore simple, cost-effective strategies to help minimise shrink and maintain animal condition during transport.

The GOAT of drought planning has arrived.

No, not another weather forecast. A checklist.

When conditions start to dry out, it's easy to get caught up putting out spot fires and wondering what needs attention first. That's why we've pulled together the Drought Planning Checklist, a practical guide to help you review the key areas of your business before conditions become critical.

Think of it as your drought planning cheat sheet, covering everything from:

🔸Water supplies and infrastructure
🔸Feed budgets and pasture availability
🔸Livestock priorities and trigger points
🔸Business and financial considerations

A drought plan isn't about expecting the worst, it's about being prepared, reducing stress and giving yourself more options when decisions need to be made.

So grab a coffee, download the checklist and work through it with your family, staff or advisors. Future you will thank you.
