MORE feedlot news has emerged this week, with one of Australia’s largest lotfeeders announcing plans to sell two of its feedlots.

Mort & Co has officially listed Yarranbrook and Pinegrove feedlots, along with the license for its proposed Gogango feedlot in Central Queensland. Beef Central publisher Jon Condon gives an insight into how that listing emerged.

Also, on the Week in Beef:

• Meat & Livestock Australia Wagga Wagga market reporter Leann Dax gives an insight into the season in the south states, with cattle heading back to the area after a drought-induced sell-off earlier this year.
• A new survey of 158,000 tertiary education students has found that students studying agriculture degrees were the most satisfied with their degrees.
• The number of the week looks at bull selling season, Australian Beef Sustainability Framework, controversy on the dietary guidelines and European Deforestation.
