THIS week’s podcast episode goes from weaner sales in the south, to disease outbreaks in Indonesia and over to the meat judging competitions in the United States.
With good seasons in parts of Victoria, producers appear to be looking to restock with a surprising on heifers. The team from the Week in Beef catches up with:
- Hamilton-based TDC agent Guy Robertson to discuss the trends of the Western Districts weaner sales.
- Beef Central publisher James Nason to discuss the significance of a Lumpy Skin Disease outbreak in the popular tourist island of Bali.
- Australian Intercollegiate Meat Judging team member Zoe Skinner about the team’s success in the US.
- And the number of the week looks at FMD in South Africa and new laws passed this week to change gun laws and buy back surplus weapons.
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.
