ANOTHER large-scale Australian feedlot has hit the market this week, making it the fifth of its kind to go up for sale recent months.
Smithfield Cattle Company today announced it was testing the market with its feedlot at Proston in the South-Burnett region of Queensland.
Smithfield’s announcement follows a similar move from Mort & Co, which has put the Pinegrove and Yarranbrook feedlots on the market, Elders with its Killara feedlot on the Liverpool Plains and Rangers Valley, which recently sold to Stanbroke. Plus:
- Australian Agricultural Company managing director David Harris talks half yearly profits, feedlot expansion and the future of the Livingstone abattoir in Darwin.
- Tim Lee talks about how his adoption of regenerative agriculture has helped him recover from the battlefields of Afghanastan and Iraq.
- The number of the week talks National Ag Day, record beef production and national environmental laws.
