S2 Ep39: Cattle market update, with Chris Howie & Matt Dalgleish

Today's Weekly Grill podcast with host Kerry Lonergan is an end-of-season wrap-up of the cattle and beef markets with regular commentators, Stockco's Chris Howie and Ep3's Matt Dalgleish. The pair discuss the 2022 year that was, and what lies ahead. One of the unexpected twists that took place this year was the brief, but dramatic drop in cattle prices around July, when cattle producers were spooked by concerns over an FMD or LSD disease incursion from nearby Indonesia. The looming impact of the US drought on global beef supply and demand over the next two years is another key focus in today's update. Next week's episode 40 will be the last for the year, before the Weekly Grill goes into summer recess. The final episode is an interview with Flinders + Co branded beef supply chain principal, James Madden. Flinders + Co created headlines in 2018 when it became the first meat company in the world to fully offset all carbon emissions from not only its own business, but every kilogram of meat it sold. What has happened since?
