@Patcoole @JimmiJai @Meat_Watcher@SheepProducers@WAFarmers Despite @JimmiJai's feeble attempt here is the trade data for you @Patcoole for beef/buffalo imports boxed versus live cattle in terms of the annual value of the trade, respectively.
@Patcoole @JimmiJai @Meat_Watcher@SheepProducers@WAFarmers You can also see it here as a percentage share of value since 2000. The live trade in terms of value of imports has declined from around 60% in 2000 to nearing 30% in more recent years.
@kansasangus@leereichmuth Yeah, nah. There ain’t. Can’t remember the name but there is a company that’s been trying to play matchmaker for at least 5 years and it has had very little success (or failed, havnt seen any mention of it for a long time).
For the past few weeks I've been completely consumed by this investigation. It's probably the most important story I'll ever break and I hope it can be used to bring about meaningful change. Please do read it 👇https://t.co/dzz5fajkmy
For WA sheep producers given the live export ban. Shortage of abattoir space. Shortage of shearers and general labour. Along with falling prices. What are your medium term sheep plans.
