THE dynamics of Australia’s cattle market have shifted quickly in recent weeks, from big shifts of cattle into southern feedlots, a bit of rain in Queensland and more permits issued for live export ships.

In this episode of the Week in Beef, the Beef Central team give a quick wrap up of markets across the country. Plus:

• Why one feedlot operator has offered $250,000 for an operations manager. Rimfire Resources’ Mick Hay explains why the job is in hot demand.
• Darling Downs beef battle event shows the possibilities of putting beef on share plates. Meat & Livestock Australia’s Sam Burke and Dnata Catering’s Rob Smithson talk carcase utilisation.
• Number of the week looks at World Iron Awareness week, International Rural Women’s Day, state of the industry and Beyond Meat shares tanking.
