Global wheat prices are rallying due to Middle East tensions and Black Sea shipping delays, yet domestic prices have barely moved. Slaughter cattle prices have been under pressure due to weaker international demand, with Australia having hit its tariff-free beef export quotas for both China and South Korea. To Sheepvention in Hamilton, where the winner of invention of the year was for a titanium shearing hand piece.
