Show Notes
The stars are aligning for the red meat sector with record returns and global demand.
Rabobank's latest report suggests two-million underutilised dairy calves are born each year, at a time when beef prices are hitting record highs.
It's calling for a coordinated effort across breeding, rearing, and value chains to add an alleged $1.2 billion to the economy.
Meat Industry Association Chair Nathan Guy told Mike Hosking there's a lot of system change that needs to occur.
He says farmers know the demand is there, so it's an exciting time.
