FEEDLOT capacity is continuing to surge in Australia, with pen space to support hundreds-of-thousands of cattle either recently come online or currently under construction.

Beef Central has been on the phones trying to find who is behind the current expansions and this episode the Week in Beef will explore some of the learnings from the exercise.

Also on the show:

• Beef Central publisher Jon Condon unpacks the sale of Kimberly Meat Company and prospects of more processing in the north.
• Riverina producer Michael Gooden explains how he plans to build carbon in his soil.
• The number of the week looks at the Melbourne Cup, cattle prices and a surge in value of foetal blood.

Available every Thursday afternoon on the Beef Central website, or via YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, I Heart Radio, Podbean and other podcast platforms. Search for: The week in beef and click subscribe.
