The value of livestock slaughtered in FY22 was $14.5b - up a massive $2.2b on FY21! The average price for finished cattle was $2,457.82/head! What a year (*ABS data) @MattBrannRURAL @belvarischetti @FionaMyers2640 @diningboom @Meat_Watcher @NSWFarmers

2nd highest lamb slaughter for the year last week at 409,608 head! WA up by 58% (Week on Week)! 4th biggest week since the start of 2020! Processors are finding the capacity! @Sheep_Central @theweeklytimes @AdamPoulsen7 @BLittlewood9 @belvarischetti
