Beef cattle numbers restored in Northern Australia
19 Jun 2008
Overall, cattle numbers are projected to rise by 8.5 per cent in northern Australia and to rise by 2.1 per cent in southern Australia. Drought conditions had cattle numbers by around 10 per cent per farm in northern Australian in 2005-06. In 2006-07, improved seasonal conditions in northern Australia boosted pasture growth and enabled producers to commence rebuilding animal numbers. In southern Australia seasonal conditions early in 2007-08 were dry; however good spring and summer rainfall in many parts of southern Australia boosted pasture growth and increased livestock production.
